Asian Games: ‘It’s The Small Things That Make The Biggest Difference,’ Says Gulveer After Silver
Gulveer Singh: Gulveer Singh believes attention to detail and the support of his wider team played a crucial role in his silver-medal-winning performance in the men’s 10,000 m at the ongoing Asian Games 2026, saying that 'it’s often the small things that make the biggest difference' at the highest level.
Gulveer clocked 28:29.38 to finish second in the 25-lap race on Friday, just 1.87 seconds behind Bahrain’s Birhanu Balew, who won gold in 28:27.51. Bahrain’s Albert Kiptoo claimed bronze in 28:34.38, while China’s Wang Wenjie finished fourth in 28:38.14.
The Indian stayed with the lead group for much of the race before remaining patient in the closing stages. With 2,000 m remaining, Gulveer was firmly in medal contention and held his nerve to split Bahrain’s two runners and secure silver.
