Meet Ludhianas Jumper Family, where all 4 members are medal-winning Long Jumpers

“Besides, in Khedan Vatan Punjab Diyan, I have won gold medals in state-level long jump competitions for the past four years. I have been teaching at Government Primary School here for the last 16 months, but participating in these competitions is my passion. My husband, Saudagar Singh, is my coach,” she said.

The family’s training is overseen by Saudagar Singh in the village. Their daughter, Khushpreet Kaur, is also a state-level long jump winner, while their nine-year-old son has won a gold medal in the under-11 category.

According to the family, villagers began calling them the “Jumper Family” after witnessing their dedication to running and long jump events.

“It feels great to participate in sports and inspire other youngsters in the village. We practice here, and many people gather to watch and try their hand at long jump. If sports are promoted extensively, the energy of the youth can be channelised in the right direction,” said Saudagar Singh.
