With the Asian Games in Hangzhou some four months away, the Chinese are closely watching the Indian long jumpers and their stunning performances.
National record-holder Jeswin Aldrin, with his 8.42m at the Indian Jumps Open in Ballari in March, is currently the long jump world leader while M. Sreeshankar finished No. 3 in the world list last year with his 8.36m.
There were many Chinese at the MVA High Performance Meet in Chula Vista on Sunday where Sreeshankar won the gold comfortably.
