The 28-year-old Naib Subedar in the Indian Army bagged silver in the men’s 10,000m at the Asian Games 2026, clocking 28:29.38. He was narrowly edged out by Bahrain’s Birhanu Balew, but his consistency is what’s turning heads. Just two years ago, he took bronze in the same event. Now? He’s a silver medalist; and that’s not even his only big moment this year. Earlier in 2026, Gulveer became the first Indian to win two track medals at a single Commonwealth Games; silver in 10,000m, bronze in 5,000m. And let’s not forget his double gold at the 2025 Asian Athletics Championships. This isn’t luck. It’s discipline. It’s training. It’s grit. India’s athletics squad is quietly rewriting the script. With Manpreet Kaur adding bronze in shot put and the team now at 22 medals (2 gold, 9 silver, 11 bronze), the roar is growing. And Gulveer? He’s not just running for medals; he’s running to rewrite what’s possible for Indian distance runners.
