Gulveer Singh created history by becoming the first Indian athlete to win a medal in the men’s 10,000-metre event at the Commonwealth Games. The reigning Asian champion delivered an impressive performance, clocking 27 minutes 49.78 seconds to secure the silver medal at Scotstoun Stadium.
Australia’s Ky Robinson claimed the gold medal, while Gulveer’s historic finish marked a major milestone for Indian athletics.

Her performance gave India its seventh medal from eight weightlifting events in Glasgow.
With these victories, India’s overall medal tally at the Commonwealth Games 2026 increased to 12 medals, comprising 2 gold, 7 silver, and 3 bronze medals.
