Gurindervir Singh, who holds the national record, finished second in his men's 100m heat at the Commonwealth Games 2026 but it was not enough for him to find a place in the semifinal.

Gurindervir Singh is making headlines. The athlete became the first Indian sprinter to clock a sub-10.10 timing in the 100m race

For young Gurindervir, the obsession with elite sport began during annual Diwali clean-ups. Tasked with polishing his father's old medals, trophies, and shields, he would gaze at an old photograph of his father leaping into the air, smashing a volleyball.

Usain Bolt holds the world record of the 100-meter sprint, completing the race in 9.58 seconds.
