Indians Set to Shine at World Athletics Championships 2023: After a disappointing first day, only two Indians will compete in the qualifiers on day 2 of the World Athletics Championships 2023 at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest, Hungary on Sunday, August 20.
Sarvesh Anil Kushare will attempt to qualify for the men’s high jump finals, while Santosh Kumar T will compete in the men’s 400m preliminaries.
Avinash Sable, the holder of the national record in the 3000m steeplechase, failed to qualify for the final on Saturday, as Akashdeep Singh, Vikash Singh, and Paramjeet Singh finished last in the men’s 20km race walk final. Shaili Singh did not qualify for the women’s long jump final. Ajay Kumar Saroj ran his personal best of 3 minutes 38.24 seconds in the men’s 1500m heats, but it was not enough to advance to the semifinals. None of the three Indians in the men’s triple jump — Praveen Chithravel, Eldhose Paul, and Abdulla Aboobacker — qualified for the final round.
