AFI Challenges Measurement of Shaili Singh's Long Jump at 2026 Asian Games
The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) is challenging the official measurement of long jumper Shaili Singh's fourth attempt at the 2026 Asian Games, which recorded 6.41m and left her fourth, missing a medal. AFI senior vice president and mentor Anju Bobby George alleges officials measured from a shorter mark pointed out by a distant official, not the mark near the landing pit. Despite appeals and video reviews, the decision stood, prompting AFI to approach the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
