In a groundbreaking achievement for Indian athletics, Gurindervir Singh clocked a historic 10.09 seconds in the men's 100m sprint at the Federation Cup held in Ranchi, Jharkhand, India. This remarkable performance not only made him the first Indian athlete to break the 10.10-second barrier but also set a new national record at the Birsa Munda Athletics Stadium. The competition was marked by fierce rivalry, particularly between Gurindervir and Odisha's Animesh Kujur, who both shattered the national record multiple times within a span of just 24 hours. Gurindervir initially recorded 10.17 seconds in the semifinal, only for Kujur to respond with a record-breaking run of 10.15 seconds shortly after. However, Gurindervir returned to the track with renewed vigor, ultimately achieving his historic time in the final. His outstanding performance has also secured him a spot in the 2026 Commonwealth Games, and his time stands as the second-fastest in Asia this season, highlighting his potential on the international stage.
