From life-threatening appendicitis to CWG silver, the 'comeback journey has been really tough' for long-jumper Murali Sreeshankar
Commonwealth Games (CWG) medal in men's long jump. "All of us had been waiting for this medal for a very long time." When Sreeshankar mentioned "all", he specifically meant his father and coach, Murali Sivashankar, a former triple-jumper, and mother KS Bijimol, who is a former international 800m runner. "I was seventh at World Indoors, multiple times sixth in Asian Games and World Junior Championships. So this really means a lot to me," he said, talking to TimesofIndia.com over the phone from Birmingham.
