Punjab’s Gurinder Veer Breaks 100m Record, Eyes Commonwealth Glory

From the narrow lanes of Jalandhar to the national spotlight, Gurinder Veer Singh has rewritten the script for Indian sprinting. Competing at the Federation Cup in Ranchi, he powered through the 100 meters in 10.09 seconds, claiming a new national record and booking his ticket to the Commonwealth Games. The moment the clock stopped, joy erupted in his hometown. His mother's nutrition-rich diet and his father's athletic background provided the foundation for this success. Before the final, Gurinder boldly wrote his target time of 10.10 seconds on his bib, but he exceeded even his own expectations. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann praised the sprinter, calling him a source of pride for the state.
