Murali Sreeshankar Undergoes Ankle Surgery, Targets 2027 Return
Indian long jumper Murali Sreeshankar underwent minor ligament reconstruction surgery on his right ankle on October 13 in London after an injury at the Asian Games in September. Despite slipping on a rain-soaked take-off board and twisting his ankle, he secured a silver medal with an 8.07m jump. The surgery aims to stabilize his ankle for a return in the 2027 season, targeting the World Championships and 2028 Olympics. Sreeshankar previously had left knee surgery in 2024, which sidelined him from the Paris Olympics.
