MP Jabir also made an early exit, finishing seventh in his heat with 50.76, to bring an end to his campaign. Follow World Athletics Championships Update with InsideSport.IN
Murali Sreeshankar has had an impressive season so far. The Kerala long jumper created history by reaching the finals, but it was expected. His biggest test will come in the finals, where all the long jumpers will step up their game in the medal round.
WAC 2022 LIVE Results – Men’s long jump final: Of the 12 jumpers, who have made it to the final, Sreeshankar’s 8m jump was the seventh best in the qualification. But he will go into the final with a positive mindset. He has one of the best jumps of the year at 8.36m and anywhere close to that mark could fetch him the elusive medal at the WCH Oregon 2022.
However, the likes of Miltiadis Tentoglou, Thobias Montler and Simon Ehammer will also be eying podium finish. It will be interesting to see how Yuki Hashioka, who registered the best leap in qualification of 8.18, will fare in the final.
Murali Sreeshankar qualifies for the long jump event at #WAC2022 with a jump of 8.00m.
Remember his PB is 8.36m and he s current national record holder. #Oregon2022 Congrats
