Divya Delhi: Gulveer Singh set a new 10,000m national record in The Ten 2025 athletics competition with 27:00.22s. The 26-year-old beat his national record of 27:14.88 at the Hachioji Long Distance 2024 in Japan by 14.66 seconds. Gulveer Singh breaks his national 10,000m record with 27:00.22. The Indian Athletics Federation tweeted on X that he placed 6th at The Ten in the US on Saturday. Gulveer set a new 10000m national record at The Ten last year with a 27:41.81 performance. This performance broke Surendra Singh's 2008 record of 28:02.89. Gulveer increased his record at Japan's Hachioji Long Distance. At The Ten, a World Athletics Continental Tour silver-level meet, the Hangzhou Asian Games bronze medalist came within 0.22 seconds of the automatic qualification requirement for the World Athletics Championships 2025, 27:00.00. However, he exceeded the Athletics Federation of India's 29.33.26s Asian Athletics Championships 2025 entry criteria. He ranks third in Asian 10000m best times with Gulveer's new personal best. Only Qatar's Ahmad Hassan Abdullah and Nicholas Kemboi are ahead. A sports tournament in Boston gave Gulveer Singh the men's 3000m indoor national record and the Asian 5000m short track record earlier this year. Gulveer finished fourth at the Terrier DMR Challenge indoor competition in Boston last month, improving the Asian Indoor 5,000m record and qualifying for the 2025 World Athletics Championships.
