Kozhikode: The passing of Sreenivasan, husband of Olympian P T Usha, marks the loss of a constant shadow behind her rise in athletics. Sreenivasan was intimately familiar with Usha’s competitions, knowing the timing of each event down to the second. He was instrumental in establishing the Usha School of Athletics in Kinaloor, serving as its co-founder and treasurer, and providing steadfast support in the school’s operations. Their son, Dr Vignesh V Ujjwal, a sports medicine specialist, also serves at the Usha School of Athletics. Sreenivasan was working on creating a museum at home to house Usha’s medals and detailed records of her competitions.
