Manpreet finished third with a best throw of 17.17m, while compatriot Krishna Jayasankar Menon came fifth. The highly-anticipated men’s 100m semi-finals ended in disappointment, as both Gurindervir Singh and Animesh Kujur failed to qualify for the final. As the day goes on, medal opportunities will also arise in women’s pole vault and men’s hammer throw.
