Gurindervir Singh Wins 60m at Inaugural Indoor Nationals With 6.60 National Best

With no official indoor record list in India, his 6.60 is logged as a national best.

Overview

  • Singh won the men's 60m in 6.60 seconds, with the final held Wednesday at Bhubaneswar's Kalinga Stadium indoor arena and faster than the previous 6.67 national indoor best.
  • Under sprint rules that eject a runner for any false start, the title race saw three false starts that removed pre‑race favorite Animesh Kujur along with Dondapati Mrutyam and Nehal Sagar.
  • Lalu Prasad Bhoi claimed silver in 6.65 and Haryana's Nuzrat took bronze in 6.71 after the reshuffled field lined up for the restart.
  • The Athletics Federation of India does not keep official indoor records, so performances from this first national indoor meet are reported as national bests rather than ratified records.
  • Tamil Nadu's C Reegan cleared 5.30 metres for a pole vault national indoor best, while Dev Meena's 5.40 national record from outdoor competition stood.
