New Delhi: Legendary sprinter Milkha Singh has tested positive for COVID-19. He has moved into a home isolation in Chandigarh, said his wife.

The 91-year-old, popularly known as Flying Sikh, is asymptomatic and claims to be in “high spirits’.

“I am fine and there is no fever or cough. My doctor told me I will be al right in three-four days. I did jogging just yesterday. I am in high spirits,” he told a news agency.

The legendary athlete is a five-time Asian Games gold medallist but his greatest performance was the fourth place finish in the 400m final of the 1960 Olympics.

Milkha’s son and ace golfer Jeev Milkha Singh is in Dubai and said he would be returning to the country this week itself.
