AFI to Appeal CAS Over Disputed Measurement in Shaili Singh's Asian Games Jump
The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) is set to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after long jumper Shaili Singh's fourth attempt at the 2026 Asian Games was allegedly measured incorrectly. Shaili finished fourth with a best jump of 6.42m, narrowly missing a medal, while Ancy Sojan won silver and China's Huang Yingying took gold. AFI and Shaili's mentor, Anju Bobby George, claim officials measured from a shorter mark, disputing the official 6.41m measurement. Protests were rejected despite requests for side-view video evidence.
