Eldhose Paul, on Thursday, became the first Indian triple jumper to reach the World Athletics Championships final. The 25-year-old recorded a best of 16.68m to qualify for the summit clash sealing 12th and the final position.
He has a personal best jump of 16.99m at the Federation Cup earlier this year. The other two Indians who were competing in the event - Praveen Chithravel, placed in Group A, and Abdulla Aboobacker, in Group B, however, missed out on the cut.
