India’s Gulveer Singh created history by winning the bronze medal in the men’s 5000m at the Commonwealth Games 2026, becoming the first Indian to claim two track and field medals in a single edition of the Games.
The 28-year-old clocked 13:24.95 to finish behind Kenya’s Mathew Kipchumba Kipsang (13:23.61) and Australia’s Ky Robinson (13:24.70). Gulveer produced a brilliant finishing sprint, moving from fifth place on the final lap to secure bronze. Earlier in Glasgow, he had won silver in the men’s 10,000m, making this a landmark campaign for Indian athletics.
The Army athlete from Uttar Pradesh continues his remarkable rise after multiple medals at the Asian Games and Asian Athletics Championships.
