5 of India's greatest ever rowers

Inderpal Singh

Few men have contributed as much to Indian rowing as the great Inderpal Singh. The first Indian rower to represent the nation at the Olympic Games – Sydney 2000, with Kasam Khan – the former rower turned coach is nurturing young soldiers at the Army Rowing Node today.

The 2002 Arjuna Award winner and Coxless Pairs rower, a 2004 SAF Games Gold Medallist in the event along with Jenil Krishnan, currently oversees the training of more than 60 athletes at the Army Rowing Node, with some of his biggest protégés including Narsa Ram, Nayab Rasool, Dushyant Singh and Bhagwan Singh.

Coaching the athletes along with Rajpal Singh Mokha and ARN in-charge Colonel Charan Singh Baswana, the Olympian imparts his valuable experience to budding rowers, in addition to putting them through rigorous scientific regimes.
