"We Can Hope To Be In Top 5 In Paris Olympics": Long Jumper M Sreeshankar To NDTV

In a thrilling duel in Kozhikode, Kerala Olympian athlete M Sreeshankar created a new national record with a massive jump of 8.36m.

But this jump was wind assisted (+4.1m/s) -- more than the allowed limit i.e. +2.0m/s -- and therefore, the new National Record (NR) was registered against Sreeshankar's name.
