While the Commonwealth Games doors have closed for high jumper Tejaswin Shankar and long jumper Jeswin Aldrin despite having achieved the AFI’s entry standard in recent meets, seasoned discus thrower Seema Punia, who is yet to make the cut, is in the team for the Birmingham event.
But Seema’s target will be 58m, the AFI qualifying standard, if she wants to catch the flight to Birmingham.
The 38-year-old Seema, who has a personal best of 64.84m (2004) and 63.73 last year which helped her to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics, has a best of 55.97m this year.
