India's Gulveer Singh has recently won another medal in his impressive campaign at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games 2026, winning the silver medal in the men's 1,500m race on 28 September 2026.
The accomplishment comes just days after Gulveer won silver in the men's 10,000m event, making the 2026 Asian Games a very successful event for the Indian distance runner.
Gulveer Adds Second Asian Games Silver.
Gulveer Singh entered the 1,500m final after qualifying from his heat. He competed with fellow Indian runner Yoonus Shah, who also reached the final.
The 1,500m medal adds to Gulveer’s silver in the men’s 10,000m, which he won on September 25. He clocked 28:29.38 in that race to finish second.
His latest medal therefore gives him two silver medals at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
Strong Performance in 1500m
The 1,500m event presented a different challenge for Gulveer than the longer 10,000m race. The shorter event required a combination of speed, tactical positioning, and a strong finish.
Gulveer had already shown his versatility by participating in multiple distance events during the Games. Qualification for the 1,500m final came on September 26, when he came third in his heat.
He then returned for the final on September 28 and secured the silver medal.
Second Medal After 10000m Silver
Gulveer's first medal at these Games came in the 10,000m final on 25 September. He finished behind Bahrain's Birhanu Balew and improved on the bronze medal he had won in the same event at the Hangzhou Asian Games.
Gulveer got his silver and now he continues his strong Asian Games record.
He had won bronze in the 10,000m at Hangzhou in 2023 and now has moved up to silver in the event at Aichi-Nagoya.
Gulveer's Remarkable 2026 Season
The two Asian Games medals come during an important year for Gulveer. The Indian distance runner is one of the country's top athletes in long-distance and middle-distance running.
Earlier in 2026, he also won medals at the Commonwealth Games, adding to his growing international record.
His ability to compete at different distances has made him one of India’s notable athletics performers at the current Asian Games.
India’s Athletics Campaign Gets Another Boost.
Gulveer's silver adds another medal to India's athletics tally at the Aichi-Nagoya Games.
Indian athletes have already achieved several great performances in athletics, with silver medals for Ancy Sojan Edappilly in the women's long jump and Sarvesh Kushare in the men's high jump. India has also captured medals in various other athletics events in the Games.
Gulveer’s double-silver performance also strengthens India’s athletics campaign.
When did Gulveer Singh win the 1500m silver?
Gulveer Singh won the men's 1,500m silver medal on September 28, 2026, at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in Japan.
He had previously won the men's 10,000m silver on September 25, so he now has two silver medals from the 2026 Asian Games.
