Gulveer Singh wins historic silver in men's 10,000m

Asian Games bronze medallist Gulveer Singh produced a remarkable performance to win a historic silver medal in the men's 10,000m at the Commonwealth Games in Glasglow on Tuesday, becoming the first Indian to secure a podium finish in the event. The national record holder's medal was India's second silver in athletics at the Games after Sarvesh Kushare's podium finish in the men's high jump.Running in difficult conditions with heavy downpour and a rain-soaked track at the Scotstoun Stadium, Gulveer stayed with the leading pack throughout before unleashing a brilliant finish in the final laps. The historic silver was the latest milestone in Gulveer's remarkable rise from the village roads of Sirsa in Uttar Pradesh to the Commonwealth Games podium. A serving Naib Subedar in the Indian Army's Grenadiers Regiment, Gulveer joined the force in 2018 before emerging as India's leading long-distance runner.

India's Harjinder Kaur produced a sensational performance to win the women's 69kg weightlifting silver medal at the Commonwealth Games, breaking the Games records in both the snatch and clean and jerk on Tuesday. The 29-year-old, who had won a bronze medal in the higher 71kg category at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games, delivered one of the finest performances of her career to earn India its seventh weightlifting medal of the Games. In the process, she rewrote her personal best in all three categories -- snatch, clean and jerk, and total -- underlining the remarkable progress she has made over the last four years.
