M. Sreeshankar had his hands on his head after his fifth jump at the International Jumping Meet in Kallithea, Athens, on Wednesday. The long jumper had overstepped the take-off board a bit and shook his head as he looked at the landing pit.
“The last two jumps were superb ones, the fifth looked like 8.40 plus,” Sreeshankar told The Hindu from Greece.
Still, he was happy that he had done very well to take the gold with 8.31m beating Indoor Worlds silver medallist Thobias Montler.
