New Delhi, July 21: Murali Sreeshankar is refusing to get carried away by numbers as he targets another Commonwealth Games (CWG) medal, insisting his focus remains firmly on the process rather than chasing the elusive 8.42m mark.
The Indian long jumper believes that if every technical aspect comes together at the right time, the distance will take care of itself.
“I’m sure it takes time. I don’t want to focus on just one distance and end up compromising other areas. I’d rather keep trusting the process and ensure the technical skills come together. If all three aspects align at the right moment, the big jump will follow. I just want to make sure I am in good shape physically,” Sreeshankar said.The Commonwealth Games silver medallist believes the sought-after 8.42m mark is within reach but noted that achieving such a jump depends heavily on conditions.The 27-year-old remains hopeful that the breakthrough will come soon.
