Gulveer Singh Takes 5000m Bronze to Become First Indian With Two Medals at Single Commonwealth Games

A 13:24.95 finish in Glasgow secured the podium spot by 0.04 seconds and capped a historic double after his earlier 10,000m silver.

Gulveer Singh won the bronze medal in the men's 5000m at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with a time of 13 minutes 24.95 seconds. The result gave way to a margin of 0.04 seconds over Kenya's Cornelius Kemboi, a gap that separated the podium from the rest of the field in a finish decided by less than half a stride [6]. Singh’s time placed him 1.34 seconds behind gold medalist Mathew Kipchumba Kipsang of Kenya, who stopped the clock at 13:23.61 to establish the race ceiling [4]. This bronze marks the second medal of the 2026 Games for Singh, making him the first Indian athlete to win two medals at a single edition of the Commonwealth Games [1].
