This moment became historic for Indian athletics when Punjab’s talented runner Gurinderveer Singh set a new national record by clocking a blistering time of 10.09 seconds in the men’s 100 meters race at the National Senior Athletics Federation competition. With this brilliant performance, he became the first Indian athlete to complete the race in less than 10.10 seconds. Gurinderveer left his arch-rival Animesh Kujur behind and strengthened his identity not only in the country but also at the Asian level. This competition will always be remembered in the history of Indian athletics, because the national record was broken twice in a few minutes. This success of Gurinderveer is a great example of his years of struggle, hard work and the support of his coach and community.
