Murali Sreeshankar added one more milestone to Indian athletics history on Wednesday, becoming the country’s first long jumper to win two Commonwealth silver medals. But thankful to God and I’m here winning a silver medal for my country yet again." Former world champion Tajay Gayle of Jamaica won the gold medal after a season-defining 8.15 metre jump, after opening the competition with an 8.08 metre jump. But the fourth-round leap of 8.15 metres came as decisive, giving the Jamaican an additional gold medal. Before Sreeshankar creating the history, India's only Commonwealth Games medallists in the long jump were Suresh Babu (men's bronze, 1978), Anju Bobby George (women's bronze, 2002) and M. Prajusha (women's silver, 2010).
