That also brings down curtains on Day 2 of the World Athletics Championships for India. The day started on a disappointing note with both Parul Chaudhary and MP Jabir failing to qualify for the finals in Women's 3000m Steeplechase and Men's 400m hurdles respectively.
The onus was then on Murali Sreeshankar to better the day, but he faltered too and finished seventh in Men's Long Jump final.

Murali Sreeshankar in major competitions in 2022
World Indoors - 7th - 7.92m
World Championships - 7th - 7.96m
This is such a big heartbreak for Miltiadis Tentoglou after such consistent jumps. He has to settle for silver with a best of 8.32m as the Chinese takes gold with that massive 8.36m.
Decathlete Simon Ehammer has the bronze for himself with 8.16m.
He has turned the competition upside down has Jianan Wang. Leaps 8.36m and all off Tentoglou efforts until now might go in vain. The Greek has one more attempt left though.
This competition has just levelled up!
Well, that's that. Murali Sreeshankar finishes seventh overall with a best of 7.96m in his very first attempt.
His series of jumps read: 7.96m, X, X, 7.89m, X, 7.83m.
Final attempts coming up now and this is make or break for Murali Sreeshankar. He has been disappointing so far today, but can he brush it all off with a big jump in his sixth attempt?
