A 22-year-old national record has finally fallen. 🇮🇳
At the 65th National Inter State Senior Athletics Championships in Bhubaneswar, Ancy Sojan soared to 6.88m, breaking the long-standing national record of 6.83m set by Anju Bobby George in 2004.
For more than two decades, Anju Bobby George's mark stood as the benchmark of Indian women's long jump. Today, Ancy has written a new chapter in the history books.
Congratulations to Ancy Sojan on an unforgettable achievement.
Sarvesh Anil Kushare!!!!
The World Championships finalist breaks men's high jump national record.
He jumps 2.31m to claim the new mark.
He goes past @TejaswinShankar 's record of 2.29m!
Absolutely brilliant jump on the last attempt.

Wow, Harmanpreet. Got literal goosebump!🙏
That is drag flicking of the highest quality from one of the modern-day greats. Feel like Harman has been flicking a little bit within himself these last few matches.
But. That. Was. Fire.
Top corner. 🚀
A clash fuelled by passion. A rivalry steeped in history. 🔥⚔️
For 10 years now, India have remained unbeaten against Pakistan. 🇮🇳⚡

Today's special of fact resembling fiction:
@IndianFootball has found a way to fix domestic game & qualify for #WorldCup - by changing AIFF's name to Football Federation of Bharat.
Shows how serious the people running (or ruining?) the sport are!
https://t.co/lhlF2X9dcL
For a moment let us set aside the fact that changing the name of the AIFF to the Football Federation of Bharat or adding Vande Mataram in addition to the National Anthem before matches is not going to make any material difference to how the Indian team plays football.
My question is, did none of the committee members in the room even think that as the guardians and guiding lights of the world's most popular sport in the world's most populous country, these were not the decisions that every football lover was looking for from them?
And that worries me more than any name change or additional ceremony. They have no idea how tone deaf their decisions sounded in the middle of a World Cup, utterly detached from ground realities.
🗣️ “People used to tell me there is no future in 100m, Indians can’t run 100m, Indians don’t have the genes for sprinting. I wanted to prove them wrong.”
Gurindervir Singh, now the fastest Indian ever.
What Gurindervir has done over the last two days has been extraordinary:
• Broke the national record on consecutive days
• First lowered it to 10.17s
• Then stormed to 10.09s today
• Briefly held the NR yesterday before Animesh Kujur reclaimed it minutes later
And today, he came back stronger than ever.
Gurindervir is now:
• India’s fastest man ever
• Asia’s 2nd fastest this season
In just two years, he has broken the national record three times.
From Punjab to rewriting Indian sprint history — Gurindervir Singh has taken Indian sprinting one step closer to the global stage.

🚨 Indian sprinting witnessed something truly special today!
India’s two fastest men came together and broke the 100m national record twice within minutes at the Federation Cup 2026.
Gurindervir Singh shattered Animesh Kujur’s national record in Semifinal 1, clocking a lifetime best of 10.17s and briefly becoming India’s fastest man.
But in the very next semifinal, Animesh Kujur responded immediately, reclaiming the record and the title by lowering it further to 10.15s.
One of the greatest days ever for Indian sprinting… and this happened only in the semifinals.
👀 The biggest twist? They will line up against each other again tomorrow in the 100m final.
Will the title change hands once more?
