Official, whose goof-up affected the triple jumper’s performance, suspended for a year.
He was the biggest hope to qualify for the World Championships from the 59th Inter-State athletics meet here but triple jumper Arpinder Singh fell short of the mark by 12 centimetres, a combination of factors not helping his cause.
Arpinder still managed 16.83 metres — his best this season and 4th best overall — but it wasn’t enough for Doha (16.95m).
“It is disappointing. The hot, humid weather was not ideal but I was prepared for it. I was not prepared for seven jumps, though,” he admitted.
Surprise second
Karnataka’s Karthik U was the surprise runner-up with a massive 16.80m jump, followed by Mohd. Salahuddin, who managed 16.79m for his personal best.
