Indian Athletes Excel On Road To Paris, Gulveer Sets National Record In Men's 5000m
Sound Running On Track Fest: As the Paris Olympic Games draw closer, Indian athletes are building up for the mega event in earnest, some of them coming up with their best performance in either gearing up for the event or hoping to qualify for the Games to be held from June 26 to July 11.
On Sunday, India's Gulveer Singh set a National Record in men's 5000 metres at the Portland Track Festival in the USA on Saturday. The record is yet to be ratified by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI), which said it will follow the usual procedure before taking a decision.
Gulveer Singh clocked 13 minutes, 18.92 seconds to set a new National Record in Men's 5000m. Besides the record, Gulveer also won a silver medal in the meet, finishing behind Dylan Jacobs of the United States who clocked 13:18.18. The existing Indian national record is 13:18.92 in the name of Avinash Sable, set at the Sound Running On Track Fest 2023 in Los Angeles.
