Long jumper Murali Sreeshankar failed to qualify for the men's long jump final at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, USA. Sreeshankar produced a best jump of 7.78m during qualification, which was well below his national record of 8.36m achieved in July 2022. He finished 11th overall and failed to advance to the final round.

In the women's 3000m steeplechase, Parul Chaudhary and Ankita Dhyani finished ninth and 11th respectively. Chaudhary clocked 9:31.40 in the steeple, while Dhyani finished the race in 9:49.72.

These latest results continue India's disappointing performance at the World Athletics Championships 2023, with no medals won so far.

The athletics federation of India (AFI) will be hoping for a change in fortunes when the track and field events get underway from July 25.

Impacts and consequences for Indian fans and followers of the sport, as well as the team.
