Sahana Kumari bows out of high jump

Sahana Kumari bowed out after failing to clear 1.85m

India’s lone entry in the women’s high jump at the London Olympics Sahana Kumari bowed out after failing to clear a height of 1.85m in three consecutive attempts.

The result was a bit surprising, considering she cleared 1.80m with ease on her very first attempt.

Sahana finished tied for 28th, just above the bottom, in a field of 34 jumpers. It was a below-par performance from her considering her personal and season best jump was 1.92m.

Sahana was one of three Indians in action today with Geeta Phogat‘s quarter-final match in freestyle wrestling and Tintu Luka‘s 800m run qualification scheduled for later in the evening.
