World Athletics Championships: Jeswin Aldrin Qualifies For Maiden Long Jump Finals, Murali Sreeshankar Suffers Shock Exit
National record holder long jumper Jeswin Aldrin qualified for his maiden World Athletics Championships finals but fellow competitor Murali Sreeshankar made a shock exit at the qualification round after a below-par show in Budapest on Wednesday. Aldrin, who entered the showpiece as season leader with his 8.42m national record effort in March, cleared 8.0m in his first attempt and fouled his next two jumps. But that was sufficient for him to make it to the 12-man final to be held on Thursday. Those who cleared automatic qualification distance of 8.15m or top 12 from the two qualification groups made it to the finals.
