From chasing Paul Chelimo to making CWG history
Gulveer Singh won silver in the men's 10,000m at the Commonwealth Games, becoming the first Indian to medal in that event.
His coach, Scott Simmons, attributed the success to a long-term plan with no shortcuts, emphasizing gradual progression.
Gulveer will compete in the 5000m on Saturday, with Simmons hoping for another medal but noting the challenge of fresh athletes.
In the 10,000m race, Gulveer executed the plan precisely: no leading, staying on the inside rail, and positioning 3-6 in the final 600 meters.
Three years ago, Gulveer couldn't match two-time Olympic medallist Paul Chelimo's top-end speed in training.
