Nasci responds: After reading Fred's input, I have to correct /add thus: The name is Lavy and not levy. He was the fastest runner in all of Asia at the time,doing the 100m in 10.2 or 10.4 seconds, I would say. He represented and won for India at the Asian Games and brought pride to Indian Athletes at the Olypics! He preceded Mr Singh who represented India at the Rome Olympics.
