Commonwealth Games 2022: Indian athlete Eldhose Paul’s performance in Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games was something that was unexpected as he became the first Indian since 1974 along with N Abdulla Aboobacker to get a podium finish in the men’s triple jump event.
But going by his recent performances and personal best, Paul was actually not the best Indian triple jumper in the fray in the Commonwealth Games on Sunday. He had once admitted without any hesitation that he came into the sport to get a job. But somewhere is priorities changed and he started taking it seriously. He proved that he was mentally the stronger one as he kept his nerves and came up with his best performance to win his major international medal.
Paul won the gold medal ahead of compatriot N. Abdulla Aboobacker, improving on his personal best by a big margin just when it mattered.
