India Results World Athletics – WCH Oregon 2022: The Silver medal by Neeraj Chopra was the first for a male Indian athlete and second ever after Anju Bobby George’s bronze in the women’s long jump in 2003.
But even prior to Chopra’s exploits, India had already had one of their best-ever results.
An unprecedented six Indians made it to the FINALS.
- Chopra and Rohit Yadav (men’s javelin throw)
- Annu Rani (women’s javelin throw),
- M Sreeshankar (men’s long jump),
- Paul Eldhose (men’s triple jump),
- Avinash Sable (men’s 3000m steeplechase) — reached the final (top 12) in their respective event.
- This is double the previous highest amount, three at the 2015 World Championships.
Even before the Worlds began, no doubt, Neeraj was India’s best bet for a medal. But there were some other competitors, including Murali Sreeshankar. He reached the final of his long jump event, but could manage 7th position.
India’s campaign at the Worlds started with 20km race walkers in the form of Sandeep Kumar and Priyanka Goswami. They finished 34th and 40th in their respective events.
Things looked much better when Avinash Sable reached the finals of the 3000m steeplechase. However, in the finals, he faltered with a 11th position finish.
Even in long jump, Sreeshankar failed to deliver in the finals with a seventh position finish. But two other jumpers Jeswin Aldrin and Muhammed Anees Yahiya did not even make it to the qualification rounds.
