The World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, is set to have Indian representation on its second day, with two prominent Indian athletes taking centre stage on Sunday.
During the morning proceedings, spectators will be treated to Sarvesh Kushare's high-flying antics in the men's high jump qualification rounds. Kushare earned his spot at this global event largely due to his commendable performance throughout the season. A shining moment in his athletic journey this year was clinching a silver medal at the Asian Championships, where he recorded a season-best leap of 2.26 meters.
Following Kushare's event, Santosh Kumar Tamilarasan will showcase his sprinting prowess in the 400m hurdles heats. Tamilarasan's ticket to the World Championships was punched courtesy of his impressive World Ranking. A significant contribution to his ranking came from a stellar personal best time of 49.09 seconds. This exceptional timing not only highlighted his improving form but also secured him a bronze medal at the Asian Championships.
Here's a quick rundown of the schedule for Indian athletes on the second day of the World Athletics Championships 2023:
Men’s High Jump Qualification at 2:05 PM IST will feature Sarvesh Anil Kushare.
