NEW DELHI: Brought up by his grandmother and labourer father after his mother's death when he was a small child, Eldhose Paul, who won a historic triple jump gold in the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, struggled for pocket money during his college days.
Hailing from Kolencherry, a rural area 26km away from Ernakulam city, Paul struggled financially and he took up athletics to get a job so that he would be able to support his family.
