Stopped Training After Mother’s Accident, UP Long Jumper Tauseef Finally Gets Career Back On Track
Khelo India Youth Games: A week after Uttar Pradesh long jumper Mohd Tauseef joined the SAI STC at Bareilly in 2020, his mother fractured both her legs and injured her hands after falling from the terrace at their home in Pratapgarh. With his father away on a job as a driver in Saudi Arabia, the then 15-year-old had to rush back home and put his career on hold.
Back home, Tauseef had no facilities to train and had lost all hopes of being back on the field. Once his mother recovered, he gradually restarted training at his native place after almost a year.
On Tuesday night, Tauseef cleared a distance of 7.06m to win a bronze medal at the Khelo India Youth Games 2023 and was understandably elated with his performance.
