India at World Athletics Championships, complete results and schedule: Sarvesh Anil Kushare qualifies for High Jump final; Gulveer Singh finishes 16th in 10000m

It was low mark qualification as no athlete went for the automatic qualification mark of 2.30m. Reigning World Champion Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy failed to clear the 2.25m mark much to shock of the rest of the field.

Another Indian in action, Gulveer Singh finished 16th in the men’s 10000m event clocking 29:13.33. This is best ever finish by an Indian at the 10,000m event at World Championships in terms of placement with Surendra Kumar finishing 19th at the 2009 edition.

Gulveer will be in action on 19th September in the 5000m heats.

The event saw a historic finish as Jimmy Gressier of France broke the African dominance in the event to win the gold medal outpacing Yomif Kejelcha of Ethiopia by the barest of margins. The French clocked 28:55.77 while Kejelcha clocked 28:55.83. Andreas Almgren of Sweden took the bronze.
