Comeback King: Murali Sreeshankar Triumphs at Qosanov Memorial

Indian long jumper, Murali Sreeshankar, showcased his resilience and talent by winning the Qosanov Memorial Athletics Meet in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Overcoming a long injury lay-off, Sreeshankar clinched the title with an impressive 7.94 meters leap on his initial attempt.

This victory marks an inspiring comeback for the 26-year-old, who has shown consistent form since returning from a knee injury last year. Despite surgery ruling out his participation in the 2024 Olympics, he has continued to shine in his field.

Sreeshankar, who has a personal best of 8.41 meters, is striving to qualify for the forthcoming World Championships in Tokyo. With determination in his stride, he remains a formidable competitor on the global stage.
