CHANDIGARH: One of the unsung heroes of Indian athletes, 1978 Bangkok Asian Games double gold medallist Hari Chand breathed his last in Jalandhar late on Sunday night. He was 69.
Considered one of India's greatest long-distance runners, Chand, in his only Asian Games appearance, had returned with gold medal in 5,000 and 10,000-metre events. He also took part in the 1976 Montreal and 1980 Moscow Olympic Games.
