The Iranian website says 6 participants. Iran (champions), Malaysia, Sri Lanka, South Korea (2nd to 4th), in addition to them India and Thailand also participated.
Murali Sreeshankar qualifies for Paris Olympics 2024 with a massive jump of (8.37m) at the Asian Athletics Championships.Even though, he was unlucky as he won Silver whereas Chinese Taipei Athlete won the Gold(8.40m). However, in my opinion, he will be India's second genuine Medal prospect in Athletics after Neeraj chopra at Paris Olympics.
Moreover, we should look to start/have a new thread for the Asian Games and Paris Olympics because Asian games(this time around) will serve as a Qualification platform for many Events with respect to Paris Olympics. Our Qualification total(in terms of number of athletes is likely to swell after the completion of Asian games). Currently, with Sreeshankar's Qualification our total stands at 8 Athletes.
