Born in the farmer’s family in village Ghandiyal ( Chamoli District) of Uttrakhand, Surendra took early lessons in running unintentionally by running daily 10km to attend Govt. Inter College at Gairsain.
Vigo, July 13, 2008: India’s Surendra Singh has improved his one month old national record in the men’s 10000m run with a new astonishing timing of 28:02.79s. Surendra finished 4th in the Spanish Olympic trials ‘Campeonato De Espana de 10000’ held here yesterday.
“I couldn’t believe I have made it” said elated Surendra after the race. He further said “Its been 2 years I was preparing for Olympics and finally all my hard work has paid today”.
Surendra was determined to achieve qualification and planned his race with 2min 49sec pace per kilometre but it was pace for the 2nd kilometre ( 2:43) which put him in the fast lane along with Spanish runners and he kept running consistently below 2min 50sec per kilometre before speeding up last kilometre in 2min 38seconds to clock 28:02.89s.
Later he joined Garhwal Rifles regiment in 1999 as an ordinary entrant after failing five attempts where he was rejected for the reason of unfit body. Now Surendra will become the first athlete from Garhwal Rifle’s 122 year old history to participate in the Olympics.
Surendra first represented Army in the National cross country held in Simla ( 2003) which earned him his maiden international cap for India. His brilliant run in the Asian Cross Country held in Pune in 2004 brought him in the notice of Army Sports Institute where he trained for the next one year before joining India’s middle and long distance coach Dr. Nikolai Sneasrav’s army in 2006 at Bangalore.
Results: 1. Juan Carlos De La Ossa Yunta ( ESP) 27:28.31s, 2. Carles Castillejo Salvador (ESP) 27:39.79s, 3. Ayad Lamdassem El Mouhcin ( ESP) 27:45.58s, 4. Surendra Singh ( IND) 28:02
