The evening session ended on a disappointing note as Annu Rani narrowly missed adding a bronze medal to the tally as she finished fourth in the women's javelin throw.
The day belonged to Gulveer as he bagged the first gold of the campaign for the Indian contingent, as in the morning session, race walker Servin Sebastian clinched bronze in the 20km race walk.
In a battle of wits, Gulveer 26, surged ahead of his rivals in the last lap of the 10,000m race to post a time of 28:38.63, which was slower than his personal best of 27:00.22 clocked in March this year.
