THE rain-hit men's triple jump final saw an unlikely winner in Karthik Unnikrishnan of Kerala.
His 16.44m leap earned him gold in the evening session on Day 3 of the 64th Senior National Inter-state Athletics Championship in the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Friday.
The crowd which had gathered near the jump pits had not expected Karthik to pull off a surprise as he eclipsed both Abdulla Aboobacker and Praveen Chithravel in the final.
