Murali Sreeshankar, the promising long jump sensation from Palakkad, Kerala, speaks about his medal prospects at the upcoming Olympic Games in an exclusive interview with Sports Champ

Soaring Towards Olympic Glory

In the realm of athletics, the journey to success often hinges not just on individual talent and dedication but also on the unwavering support of family. Murali Sreeshankar, the promising long jump sensation from Palakkad, Kerala, epitomizes this truth as he leaps towards Olympic qualification and potential podium glory, buoyed by the steadfast encouragement of his parents and sister.

oAt just 24 years old, Sreeshankar has already etched his name in the annals of Indian athletics, boasting an impressive array of medals in the long jump discipline. His remarkable achievements have culminated in a coveted spot at the forthcoming Olympic Games, where he emerges as a formidable contender for top honours.

With a towering height of 180 cm, Sreeshankar possesses a distinct advantage in the fiercely competitive world of long jump. His national record of 8.36 meters stands as a testament to his prowess, yet it is his personal best of 8.41 meters that truly underscores his potential for greatness on the global stage.

In an exclusive interview with Sports Champ Magazine, Sreeshankar delves into his illustrious career and reflects on his medal prospects at the upcoming Olympic Games.

"It is crucial to lay a solid foundation for a future career in sports from a young age, even before a child has fully committed to pursuing athletics," he affirms.

Indeed, behind every remarkable athlete lies a network of unwavering support, and for Sreeshankar, that support emanates from his familial bonds. With his father, mother, and sister all excelling in athletics themselves, Sreeshankar finds himself immersed in an environment conducive to growth and success.
