Murali Sreeshankar delivered another strong performance, recording 8.13m in the men’s long jump at the Indian Athletics Series-1 in Bengaluru.
His best jump came in the third attempt, making him the only Indian to cross the 8m mark in the competition.
With this effort, he also became one of the few Asian athletes to breach 8m in 2026.
Returning from injury last season, Sreeshankar has maintained consistency, having crossed the 8m mark in three out of six competitions in 2025.
