India witnessed a historic day in athletics as Gurindervir Singh became the first sprinter to run the men’s 100 meters in under 10.10 seconds, shattering the national record at the 2026 Athletics Federation Cup in Ranchi on Saturday.

The 25-year-old Punjab athlete, representing the Reliance Foundation, clinched gold in the men’s 100 meters final with a blistering time of 10.09 seconds at the Birsa Munda Football Stadium. In the process, he erased the previous national record of 10.18 seconds and comfortably breached the Commonwealth Games qualification mark of 10.16 seconds.

Gurindervir also improved his personal best of 10.17 seconds and registered the second fastest time in Asia this season. Only 19-year-old Japanese sprinter Fukuto Komuro has gone faster this year with a timing of 10.08 seconds recorded in May.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann congratulated Gurindervir Singh on his historic achievement. In a post on X, Mann described the feat as a “proud moment for both Punjab and the country”. “The entire Punjab takes pride in Gurindervir’s historic achievement,” said Mann. 
Gurindervir Singh expressed delight after his record-breaking performance, saying he hopes to continue producing strong results in the future. The sprinter said mental toughness played a key role in helping him remain focused during the race and deliver his best performance, according to ANI. He credited his achievement to the unwavering support of his family, coaches and support staff. 

Former national record holder Animesh Kujur, representing Odisha, secured the silver medal with a timing of 10.20 seconds, while Pranav Pramod claimed bronze after clocking 10.29 seconds. Animesh had set the previous national mark of 10.18 seconds last year before Gurindervir’s historic run on Saturday.

Vishal TK breaks 45-second barrier in 400m

The day also witnessed another landmark performance as 22-year-old Vishal TK from Tamil Nadu won gold in the men’s 400m event with a national record time of 44.98 seconds.

Vishal became the first Indian athlete to break the 45-second barrier in the event. His effort is currently the fastest time in Asia this season. However, he narrowly missed the Commonwealth Games qualification mark by just 0.02 seconds.

Tejaswin crosses 8,000 point mark in decathlon

In another major achievement, Asian Games silver medallist Tejaswin Shankar crossed the 8,000 point mark in decathlon for the first time, smashing his own national record.

His tally also secured Commonwealth Games qualification, with the entry standard set at 7,787 points. The performance pushed Tejaswin to seventh place on the Asian all-time list.

The Federation Cup saw three national records being broken, with two of them falling within a span of just 30 minutes, underlining a remarkable day for Indian athletics.

Ethan Page was about a half-second away from pulling off an incredible upset over Penta and winning the Intercontinental Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Penta showed Page, a former NXT champion and the longest reigning NXT North American champion in the brand’s history, that he needed to do more than a few hard slams and exposed turnbuckles to beat him.

Page gave Penta all he had. He threw Penta into the exposed turnbuckle and tried to take advantage with a schoolboy roll up. While the referee tried to put one turnbuckle back together, he noticed Page’s pin attempt but only got to two. “All Ego” was upset and got into the referee’s face, allowing Penta to take advantage.

Penta avoided Page as he crashed into the ropes and bounced off the middle rope to hit a Mexican Destroyer. He pinned Page for the win.

Penta has been the champion since March 2, after he beat Dominik Mysterio on “Monday Night Raw.” The win over Page marked his seventh successful title defense, including a six-way ladder match at WrestleMania 42.

Page was impressive throughout the match. He flipped Penta over his head and onto the announce table in the middle of the match. He got back into the ring but realized that he wouldn’t be able to win the title if Penta was counted out.

He stopped the referee’s 10 count and used the ring posts to his advantage before he rolled Penta back into the ring. But the Mexican high-flyer was too much to handle.

Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that Alex Scott, Josh King, Rio Ngumoha and Ethan Nwaneri will join up with the England squad for two warm-up friendlies ahead of the World Cup.

Tuchel has named his 26-man squad for the tournament in North America, but not all of those included will be able to be integrated immediately as they conclude their club seasons.

Arsenal’s quartet – Eberechi Eze, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and Noni Madueke – will be involved in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on 30 May and will have a delayed arrival into camp, while Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson is set to feature in the Conference League decider on 27 May.

England will travel to Florida to prepare for the tournament, with friendlies scheduled against New Zealand and Costa Rica on 6 and 10 June respectively.

To ensure he has a full squad to pick from and manage the minutes of a number of key players, Tuchel has moved to bring four youngsters and one experienced professional into his squad to build out numbers in and around the friendlies and training.

Nwaneri, 19, has been drafted in after he spent the second half of the season on loan at Ligue 1 Marseille.

Bournemouth’s Scott has enjoyed an excellent season and was included in the 55-man longlist for England’s World Cup selection, while Fulham midfielder King and Liverpool winger Ngumoha have also shown signs of real promise in the Premier League.

A statement on England’s official X account said: “Ethan Nwaneri will join our Three Lions preparation camp in Florida ahead of the FIFA World Cup.”

The teenager made 12 senior appearances for the Gunners this season before heading for France, where he made a further 10, six of them from the bench.

Additionally, Tuchel confirmed that Brighton’s Jason Steele will be with the squad as a training goalkeeper having operated in a similar role previously.

“We will take some young players out who will train with us and keep the squad at the size we need so we have all the possibilities for the two friendly matches to take care about the minutes and load of the players,” Tuchel explained.

“Alex Scott is confirmed, Rio Ngumoha is confirmed, and Josh King, and there will be one more player which we cannot name because it has not been confirmed yet.

“I am happy that these guys are with us, especially Alex who was on the list of 55 and had a disappointing phone call as well that he didn’t make the first cut. But the reaction of him was outstanding, the commimtment and wish to be in pre-camp and be a step closer to the team – it was not even a question for him. It showed me his character and his spirit and I am delighted he is with us because it was close call. He gets a chance to take a step closer and get a cap.”

The England squad, minus those players involved in European finals, is due to meet up in Palm Beach on June 1.

Tuchel’s men will play two warm-up fixtures – against New Zealand in Tampa and Costa Rica in Orlando – before moving to their tournament base in Kansas City on June 13.

England open their Group L campaign against Croatia in Dallas on June 17 and will then face Ghana in Boston six days later before their final group clash with Panama in New Jersey on June 27.
