Gulveer Singh extended his fine form in the 2025 season, setting a new national record in men's 3,000m on Tuesday.
Competing at the Gyulai Istvan Memorial – a World Athletics Continental Tour Gold level Meet, Gulveer recorded a timing of 7:34.49s to complete the race.
While he finished fifth in the race in Hungary, Gulveer notched up a timing never-seen-before in Indian athletics.
The 27-year-old, in fact, bettered his own previous national record in the event.
The 7:34.49s recorded by Gulveer is also the fifth fastest time ever recorded by an Asian athlete in men's 3,000m.
