described his strategy and the course of the competition. “No, in fact, the weather was excellent today. I only wanted to place in the top eight for the first two jumps. I then managed 16.90

in the jump, and that’s when I started to find my groove,” he remarked, during a press conference on Wednesday. Advertisement Chithravel also pointed out how his body gradually adapted as

the event progressed. Every time I jump, it’s usually after the third attempt that my body really starts moving well. Today was the same. My first jump was around 16.60, the second was

16.67, and then 16.90 in the third. After that, I felt very comfortable,” he added. Unfortunately, the weather played a role in halting any further improvement. “After five minutes, it

started raining,” he said. In addition to Praveen Chithravel, the other medallists are Tejaswin Shankar, who won silver in the Decathlon, Rupal Chaudhary, who won silver in the women’s 400m,
