Railways’ S. Arya won the gold medal in the men’s long jump event at the 63rd National Open Athletics Championships at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium here on Sunday.
Arya’s second jump of 7.89m was enough to win the gold medal, ahead of M. Yahiya (7.78m) and Jagroop (7.65m).
Aarya has continued his good form at the venue, having won the Indian Grand Prix held here earlier this year.
Amit (2:38:00) and Payal (3:02:24) set new meet records in the men’s and women’s 35km walk events respectively.
The national record in the men’s 35km walk was 2:29:56 seconds, held by 2022 Asian Games bronze medallist Ram Babu.
The national record in women’s 35km walk – set by Manju (2:57:54) in Ranchi last year – also remained intact.
The Karnataka team of Kaveri Patel, Jyothika, T. Daneshwari and SS Sneha won the women’s 4x100m relay.
