Who Is Female Athlete Harmilan Bains Who Won Two Silver Medals For India At The 19th Asian Games?

Daughters walking in their mother’s footsteps and achieving their victories again is quite a rare sight, tbh. However, the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou has given us some special moments this year. Another silver was added to India’s medal tally by athlete Harmilan Bains, and this one’s second for her but is more special personally. This is because the athlete’s mother Madhuri Singh also won the same medal in 2002. The talented mother-daughter duo are definitely the perfect example to prove that sometimes a child can share the same dreams as their parents.

Why Is The Second Medal More Special?

For Harmilan Bains. the silver medal in the 800m race is much more special because her mother Madhuri Singh earned the same medal in the Asian Games 2002. And that too, in the same event!
