After seeing my performance, the school coach Roop Narayan sir suggested that I take interest in athletics,\u201d the young Shahrukh said.<\/p>\n Within a year, he not only became a profession athlete but started winning gold medals too.\u201cI want to represent my country,\u201d he said with hope. \u201cI want to become like Carl Lewis. He had performed consistently. That is the main thing.\u201d<\/p>\n The son of doctor Md. Azad, Shahrukh is also good in academics. A Class IX student of Carmel School, he focuses on his lessons and aims at scoring well in class too. \u201cBut now I am spending at least five hours in practice and I enjoy it,\u201d said the little champ.<\/p>\n After completing Class X, he would want to train at the Sports Authority of India. His father rued\u00a0that the state should have felicitated\u00a0him for his achievement.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here’s an excerpt from an article in the The Telegraph\u00a0that I came across.
