Gulveer Singh finds place in eight-member senior squad for Asian Cross Country in Hong Kong

Asian Games medallist long distance runner Gulveer Singh was on Monday named in the eight-member Indian senior team that will take part in the Asian Cross Country championships to be held on October 20 in Hong Kong.

The 26-year-old Army man had won a bronze medal in the men's 10,000m race in the Hangzhou Asian Games last year.

Singh had an excellent run on the track this season. In September, he improved his national 5,000m record to 13:11.82 seconds during a World Athletics Continental Tour event in Japan.
