India’s Gulveer Singh has etched his name among the greats of Indian long-distance running by securing two gold medals at the Asian Athletics Championships 2025. His latest triumph came in the men’s 5000m final, where he shattered a decade-old championship record, following his earlier victory in the 10,000m event.
 
5000m Gold & Record-Breaking Run:
  • Gulveer clocked 13:24.77 seconds, surpassing the previous record of 13:34.47 seconds set by Qatar’s Mohamed Al-Garni in 2015.
  • He edged past Thailand’s Kieran Tuntivate (13:24.97s) and Japan’s Nagiya Mori (13:25.06s) in a tightly contested race.
Key Hoghlights
  • 10,000m Gold on Opening Day: Gulveer had earlier won gold in the 10,000m event, marking a dominant performance in long-distance running.
  • Joining India’s Elite Club: He became only the fourth Indian to win gold in the men’s 5000m event at the Asian Championships, following Gopal Saini (1981), Bahadur Prasad (1993), and G Lakshmanan (2017).
  • India’s Medal Surge: India continued its strong showing at the championships, with 18-year-old Pooja Singh winning gold in the women’s high jump with a 1.89m leap.
  • Future Prospects: Gulveer’s performance cements his status as India’s top long-distance runner, with eyes now set on Olympic qualification.
Gulveer Singh’s double golden glow at the Asian Athletics Championships marks a historic moment for Indian athletics, reinforcing the country’s dominance in long-distance events.
