Tajinderpal won Asiad gold while father battles bone cancer
Shot-putter Tajinderpal Singh dedicated his Asiad 2018 gold to his father, Sardar Karam Singh, who is battling fourth-stage bone cancer for the last two years. "My family allowed me to chase my dream...they never pressurised me to attend my father in hospital," Tajinderpal said. The 23-year-old, who wanted to be a cricketer, took up shot put on his father's insistence.
