Gulveer Singh Creates History with Two Athletics Medals at CWG 2026
Indian long-distance runner Gulveer Singh scripted history at the 2026 Commonwealth Games by becoming the first Indian athlete to win medals in two different athletics events at a single edition of the Games.
The 28-year-old clinched a bronze medal in the men's 5,000m, marking India's first-ever medal in the event at the Commonwealth Games. Earlier, he had secured a silver medal in the men's 10,000m, which was also India's maiden medal in that discipline.
With his remarkable double podium finish, Gulveer has achieved a historic milestone for Indian athletics at the CWG.
