Gulveer Singh Smashes National Record in Men’s 10,000m Race at The Ten in California
In a remarkable feat of athleticism, Gulveer Singh has broken the men’s 10,000m national record at The Ten event in California. Clocking in at an impressive 27:41.81, the 25-year-old athlete showcased his incredible talent and determination on the track.
Singh’s exceptional performance not only secured him a silver medal in the race but also marked a significant milestone in Indian athletics. Surpassing a 16-year-old national record by over 20 seconds, he has truly set a new standard for distance running in the country.
Despite his record-breaking achievement, Gulveer narrowly missed out on securing a spot at the upcoming Paris Olympics, falling short by just 41 seconds. This near-miss is a testament to his unwavering commitment to excellence and sets the stage for even greater accomplishments in the future.
Joining Singh in the competition, fellow Indian athlete Kartik Kumar also delivered a commendable performance, finishing ninth in the event with a time of 28:01.90. Each runner’s dedication and hard work have undoubtedly made India proud on the international stage.
However, the event also saw some challenges for Indian athletes, with Avinash Sable withdrawing from his heat at the 6,000m mark due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite facing setbacks, these athletes continue to inspire with their resilience and passion for the sport.
In the women’s 10,000m race, Parul Chaudhary gave her all but ultimately finished 20th, missing the Paris qualification mark. While the road to Olympic success may have its obstacles, Chaudhary’s perseverance serves as a reminder of the courage and determination required to compete at the highest level.
Gulveer Singh’s triumph at The Ten not only showcases his immense talent but also highlights the incredible potential of Indian athletics on the global stage. As these athletes push boundaries and break records, they pave the way for a new generation of runners to dream big and reach for the stars.
