Indian men’s long jumper Sreeshankar Murali has pulled out of the upcoming Paris Olympics after suffering a knee injury in training.

In a social media post, the 25-year-old Kerala native said that he injured his knee in training on Tuesday and will require surgery to fix it.

“I will need your prayers, love and positive energy. I may jump alone, but it takes a collective push before every leap. This is my biggest one yet,” Sreeshankar said in his statement.
