History on the Track! Gulveer Singh Wins India's First-Ever CWG Men's 10,000m Medal with Silver
Gulveer Singh’s late surge in the final kilometre earned India’s first men’s 10,000m Commonwealth Games medal in 16 years, officials said.
- On Tuesday, July 28, 2026, Indian long-distance runner Gulveer Singh won a historic silver medal in the men's 10,000m at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, clocking 27:49.78 seconds.
- Breaking a 16-year drought, Singh became the first Indian man to secure a Commonwealth Games medal in the 10,000m since Kavita Raut won bronze at the 2010 Delhi Games.
- Running in heavy rain at Scotstoun Stadium, Singh stayed with the leaders before unleashing a powerful final kick at the 9800m mark to surpass Isle of Man's David Mullarkey for silver.
- His performance ended long-standing African dominance in the 10,000m, marking the first time in over 50 years that no African athlete finished on the podium at the Commonwealth Games.
- India now holds two silver medals in athletics at these Games, with Sarvesh Kushare also securing a podium finish in the men's high jump yesterday as Singh continues his international rise.
