Everyone wants to win gold at the Asian extravaganza: Sarvesh Kushare
Indian athlete Sarvesh Kushare has set a new national high jump record by clearing 2.31m at the National inter-state athletics meet. His performance was praised by fellow athletes, including Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra, as a significant milestone for Indian athletics.
Why it matters
This achievement marks a breakthrough for Indian track and field, signaling increased competitiveness on the international stage.
On June 27 evening, immediately after Sarvesh Kushare ended his four-year quest to better Tejaswin Shankar’s eight-year-old high jump National record of 2.28m at the National inter-state athletics meet at Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar by clearing 2.31m, Tejaswin took to his ‘X’ handle to write: “Another mental barrier broken!! 2.30+ was probably the last of the sticky records. 2.34-35 is just a matter of time.”
