Gandhinagar, Oct 3 (Ians) Gulveer Singh came up with a doughty effort to win the men’s 10,000m with a Games Record timing in the Athletics competition on Monday, helping Services consolidate their position at the top of the 36th National Games medal tally.
Services, the three-time defending champions, spurted to the pole position for the first time on Sunday, thanks to a good show in rowing and gymnastics.
Gulveer Singh enjoyed a massive advantage over his main rivals, Uttar Pradesh’s Abhishek Pal and Kartik Kumar, as they had to recover from the rigours of their triumphant 5000m run 48 hours earlier.
For much of the race, he tailed his teammates Sawan Barwal as well as Kartik Kumar and Abhishek Pal. He, however, made a decisive shift with about 250m to go to emerge the winner in 28:54.29.
Abhishek Pal spiritedly overtook the leader from the outside but seemed to lose...
