Gurindervir Singh Sets New Indian 100m Record Amid Growing Sprint Rivalry
India's men's 100m sprinting has seen significant progress recently, with Gurindervir Singh breaking the 10.1-second barrier at 10.09 seconds, setting a new national record. This follows a rivalry with sprinters like Animesh Kujur and Manikanta Hoblidhar, pushing times below 10.20 seconds after decades. Former record-holder Anil Kumar, now in the UK, acknowledges this growth but reflects on his unratified records and limited domestic competition during his career. Despite improvements, Indian sprinters remain behind global elites.
