Short-lived joy:

There was plenty of drama in the men’s long jump competition. Tamil Nadu’s Jeswin Aldrin’s second jump measured 8.37m. It appeared he had broken the National record of Kerala’s M. Sreeshankar (8.26m), and also registered this year’s top jump in the world. The 20-year-old’s joy, however, didn’t last long: the wind had become the villain, with a reading of +4.1m/s, well above the permissible limit of +2.0m/s. (Right): With his third jump, Sreeshankar broke his own National record set last year,registering 8.36m.
