In a landmark achievement for Indian athletics, Gurindervir Singh became the fastest Indian sprinter in the men’s 100m event, clocking an impressive 10.09 seconds at the National Senior Federation Competition. This remarkable feat not only broke the national record but also made him the first Indian to run under 10.10 seconds. Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar expressed his pride on social media, calling it a 'phenomenal achievement'. The race was marked by intense competition, with Gurindervir initially breaking the record in the semifinals with a time of 10.17 seconds, only for Animesh Kujur to respond with 10.15 seconds shortly after. However, Gurindervir saved his best performance for the final, finishing ahead of Kujur and securing his place in athletics history. His time is also the second fastest in Asia this season, just behind Japan's Fukuto Komuro, who recorded 10.08 seconds. Additionally, Gurindervir met the qualification standard for the upcoming 2026 Commonwealth Games.
