Overview
- Gulveer Singh ran a mile in 3:55.63 at the Music City Track Carnival in the USA, becoming the first Indian to break the four‑minute barrier.
- At the national inter‑state meet in Bhubaneswar he won the 5,000m in 13:52.92, which missed the Athletics Federation of India qualifying standard of 13:39.18.
- Singh already holds the Indian 5,000m record of 12:59.77 and won gold in both the 5,000m and 10,000m at the 2025 Asian Championships, underlining his continental pedigree.
- He trains with US‑based coach Scott Simmons and credits ASICS 'super shoes' for helping produce faster times through lighter foam and carbon‑plate technology.
- The mile boost strengthens his speed credentials ahead of the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games, but team selection will hinge on AFI qualifying marks and discretionary choices, and Singh has used shorter races like the 1,500m to sharpen his finishing kick.
