She was down with a back injury late last year and with COVID-19 in January, but young long jumper Shaili Singh is now back and perhaps better than ever before.
“Her speed and strength have improved. It’s a big factor when your speed improves, your body is free, you benefit a lot,” said Robert Bobby George, Shaili’s coach, in a chat with The Hindu on Thursday.
“In fact, in the 30m sprint, she has already achieved the target I had set for her. Now, we have to convert that speed into her jumps. We are working on her rhythm right now.”
