Indian Pole Vault Duo's Journey to Glasgow
Both Dev Kumar Meena, aged 21, and Kuldeep Kumar, also 21, have had a phenomenal run leading up to the Commonwealth Games. The Madhya Pradesh-based athletes recently pushed each other to new heights. In May 2026, Kuldeep Kumar broke the national record with a 5.41m jump at the Indian Indoor Open, surpassing Meena's earlier 2025 record of 5.40m. Following this, both athletes jointly achieved a mark of 5.45m at the National Senior Athletics Federation Competition in May 2026, a height that then stood as the national record. Meena clinched the gold on countback at that event, with Kumar securing silver. Most recently, Dev Kumar Meena further raised the bar, setting a new national record of 5.46m in June 2026.
Their healthy rivalry and consistent record-breaking performances have made them India's strongest pole vault contingent in recent years, and they represent a significant hope for a medal finish in Glasgow.
