At the Federation athletics meet held at Birsa Munda Stadium in Morabadi, India, Dev Meena achieved a remarkable feat by setting a new men's pole vault National record of 5.45m. This achievement came in a thrilling contest against his training partner Kuldeep Kumar, who previously held the record at 5.41m. The two athletes pushed each other to their limits, both qualifying for the Commonwealth Games. Meena's victory was determined by fewer total misses, with Meena recording eight misses compared to Kumar's nine. In addition to the pole vault, high jumper Sarvesh Kushare also made headlines by clearing 2.28m, equaling the meet record. However, he fell short of breaking the National record of 2.29m. The meet also saw Sandeep Kumar, a seasoned Olympian, win the men's 10,000m race walk after Nitin Gupta was disqualified for breaching World Athletics Technical Rule 6.2. Overall, the event showcased the talent and determination of Indian athletes as they prepared for international competition.
