No doubts: Shaili taking different comeback route
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|May 02, 2025
For long-jumper Shaili Singh, the real triumph isn't just about what she does on the track but about learning to trust her body again.
NEW DELHI: The 21-year-old's recent performances include breaking a Federation Cup meet record held by her mentor Anju Bobby George for 23-year-old with a 6.64m jump.
With the gold-medal winning jump, she qualified for the 2025 Asian Athletics Championships set to be held in Gumi, South Korea in May, she has signaled a strong return but is now focused on building from the silver medal she won in 2023 with a 6.54m leap.
Shaili had 6.59m to set a junior national record and won a silver medal at the Junior World Championships in Nairobi. In 2023, she improved on the national record at the Indian Grand Prix with a 6.76m leap. But this is her first record as a senior.
Along with coach Robert Bobby George, the Uttar Pradesh jumper worked on her technique at the runway ahead of the Federation Cup.
