Gulveer Singh Wins Historic Treble at Asian Games
· Sports · India Today, Times of India
Indian distance runner Gulveer Singh won three medals at the Asian Games, securing bronze in the 5000m alongside silver medals in the 1500m and 10,000m events. He became only the second Indian man and the fourth Indian overall to win three athletics medals at a single edition of the Games. Gulveer maintained a strict vegetarian diet of chapati, dal, and paneer throughout his grueling campaign, which included running four races in five days. A small statuette of Bajrang Bali in his room provided him with mental strength, while a dedicated physiotherapist provided by the Athletics Federation of India aided his recovery. His performance puts him alongside legendary Indian athletes who achieved similar multi-medal hauls in past editions.
Why it matters
Gulveer Singh's historic treble cements his place among India's greatest endurance athletes and boosts the country's athletics standing on the continental stage.
