Raja Randhir Singh- Sikhs The Supreme

An Asian Games gold medallist in shooting, Shooter Randhir Singh represented India in Six Olympics from 1964 Tokyo Olympics to 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, thus made a history and record. Earlier no other Indian sportsman could achieve this. Not only this, in 2011 he has been reelected Secretary General of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) also for the sixth consecutive term. Just see the coincidence of destiny. All through this period he has also been retaining the post of Secretary General of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), post which he has been holding since 1987 and member of International Olympic Council (IOC).

It is a testimony to recognition of prowess and commitment to the games of this lad. India felt proud when 45 countries reposed trust in him and no foreigner has raised any objection about his continuing on this post for the sixth time. It is worth noting that Randhir Singh was re-elected without being present at OCA General Council in Tokyo, which shows the high regard in which this Indian sports administrator holds in the International arena.

A former olympic level trap and skeet shooter born in 1946, now a sports administrator, is the sole representative for India on the International Olympic Committee.
