Selva Prabhu Cites Food Poisoning for Commonwealth Games Bronze Performance
Commonwealth Games bronze medallist Selva Prabhu attributed his performance in the men's triple jump to food poisoning, which he said prevented him from achieving a gold medal. He jumped 16.52m, behind Praveen Chithravel and Jordon Scott, and believes a jump near his personal best of 17.05m would have secured gold. Prabhu expressed determination to stay healthy and improve his approach, focusing next on qualifying for the Asian Games.
