Inter-State Athletics: Dominant Performance By Triple Jumpers Steals The Show On Day Three
State Senior Athletics Championship: Six male triple jumpers were among 13 aspiring athletes breaching Japan Asian Games qualification standards in their respective events on the third day of the 65th National Inter-State Senior Athletics Championship at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Friday.
The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) selection committee will decide the Asian Games-bound contingent after the conclusion of the Bhubaneswar competition. Two athletes will represent in each of the track and field events.
Hammer throwers set the ball rolling in the evening session. Punjab’s Damneet Singh hurled an iron ball to a distance of 69.72m to win gold and a better Asian Games qualification mark of 69.12m. Rajasthan’s Praveen Kumar's silver-winning efforts of 69.58m were also good enough to qualify for the Asian Games.
