Murali Sreeshankar and Tejas Shirse Qualify for Commonwealth Games Finals
Indian long jumper Murali Sreeshankar qualified for the men's long jump final at the 2026 Commonwealth Games with an opening leap of 8.01 meters, surpassing the automatic qualification mark. The 27-year-old, aiming to improve on his 2022 silver medal, secured direct qualification in his first attempt and conserved energy by skipping further jumps. Fellow Indian Lokesh Sathyanathan also advanced to the final based on his top-12 finish. Additionally, Tejas Shirse qualified for the men's 110m hurdles final, while sprinter Gurindervir Singh was eliminated in the 100m heats.
