Gulveer Singh Claims Historic Silver in 10,000m!

Gulveer Singh etched his name in Commonwealth Games history on Tuesday, becoming the first Indian to win a medal in the men's 10,000m. The 27-year-old athlete achieved this historic feat by claiming the silver medal at the 2026 Games held in Glasgow.

Singh clocked an impressive 27:49.78 to finish second, trailing only Australia's Ky Robinson. His strong finish ensured that traditional distance-running powerhouses, Kenya and Uganda, were notably absent from the podium, highlighting India's significant breakthrough in the event.

The Indian runner demonstrated exceptional timing and strategy, remaining with the lead pack throughout the race. Gulveer timed his final surge perfectly, launching a powerful sprint in the last lap to secure his silver medal, fending off competitors and confirming India's historic achievement.
