Indian sprinter Gurindervir Singh is set to open his 2026 season at the upcoming National Indoor Athletics Championships.
The former national record holder in the men’s 100m enjoyed a breakthrough start to last season, clocking 10.20 seconds at the Indian Grand Prix 1 to break the previous national record of 10.23 seconds held by Manikanta Hoblidhar.
The record was later surpassed by Animesh Kujur, but Gurindervir’s performance marked a significant moment in Indian sprinting.
His most recent appearance came at the World University Games in Germany, and his return to competition is expected to draw attention.
The National Indoor Athletics Championships, being held for the first time, will take place in Bhubaneswar from March 24 to 25.
Gurindervir’s return adds excitement to the event as he looks to begin his season on a strong note.
