Selva Prabhu Cites Food Poisoning for Commonwealth Games Bronze, Eyes Asian Games
Indian triple jumper Selva Prabhu won bronze at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, finishing with a 16.52m jump behind gold medallist Jordon Scott and silver medallist Praveen Chithravel. Prabhu attributed his performance to food poisoning during the event, which he said prevented him from reaching his personal best of 17.05m that could have secured gold. Despite the setback, he remains focused on qualifying for the upcoming Asian Games and improving his approach while prioritizing health.
