Food poisoning denied me CWG gold, says Selva Prabhu after winning bronze
Selva Prabhu, who secured a bronze medal in the men's triple jump at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, claims that food poisoning prevented him from winning a gold medal. The athlete, who clocked a personal best of 16.52m, finished behind Indian Praveen Chithravel and Scotland's Jordan Scott. Despite his determination to push forward, Selva acknowledges that his illness impacted his performance, and he lamented the missed opportunity.
However, he remains focused on staying healthy for future competitions, emphasizing the importance of mental toughness. Selva also expressed his eagerness to qualify for the Asian Games in Japan, but he urged against fixating on a gold medal, advocating for a gradual approach with each day's performance.
