Murali Sreeshankar Promises To Bounce Back After "Unexpected" Result At World Athletics Championships
Top Indian long jumper Murali Sreeshankar is "disappointed" at his "unexpected" qualification round exit from the ongoing World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, but promised to bounce back from the debacle. Sreeshankar, who has been consistently jumping over 8m mark this season, was expected to at least qualify for the final round but form deserted him when it mattered the most on Wednesday. He had a best jump of 7.74m in three attempts, his worst this season, to finish 12th in Group A qualification round and 22nd overall.
