India’s top women’s triple jumper Niharika Vashisht will open her 2026 season at the Indian Open Series-3 on April 11 in Delhi.

She enters the season after a strong 2025 campaign, where she improved her personal best to 13.58m and became India’s all-time seventh-best performer.

Her season began last year with a gold medal and a 13.37m jump at the National Games.

With major events like the Asian Games and Commonwealth Games ahead, this competition will be an important starting point.
