Triple jumper Praveen hits a new high

Praveen Chithravel is very promising but is also one of the most inconsistent triple jumpers in the National circuit. And injuries have often troubled him.
But everything came together nicely for the 20-year-old from Tamil Nadu on the final day of the 60th National Open at the Nehru Stadium on Sunday. The youngster produced a massive 16.88m, which bettered his personal best by 37cm, in his opener for the gold.
That made him the third best Indian ever, after Renjith Maheswary (17.30) and Arpinder Singh (17.17), and his series had three jumps over 16.70.
