Murali Sreeshankar says he is closing in on a major performance after fighting his way back from a career-threatening injury. The Indian long jumper, regarded as one of the country’s top names in the event, is now focused on producing a "big jump" as he returns to full rhythm.
His comeback has added fresh meaning to the next phase of his career. After dealing with a serious setback, Sreeshankar appears confident that his best distances are still ahead of him, and that belief is shaping his build-up to the next major targets on the calendar.
At the center of those ambitions is the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Sreeshankar is aiming to improve on his previous silver medal and turn it into gold, a goal that underlines both his competitive drive and his trust in the progress he has made since returning from injury.
For Indian athletics, his return is an encouraging story of recovery and renewed purpose. If the long jumper can translate that confidence into form, Glasgow could offer him the chance to complete a strong comeback with the top spot on the podium.
