Subbu’s life has been about athletics and he developed love for the sport as a teenager. He hails from Pollachi, a small town in Tamil Nadu.

Now well into his 80s, Subbu still takes athletics seriously. He trained extensively before travelling to the Philippines for the Asian Masters. Another testament of his undying passion was that he travelled for the competition all by himself.
