It was a disappointing day for the Indian jumper as she had earlier a season best of 6.65m. In her first round she managed a mere 6.10 m. She was put into disadvantage straight away.In the second round she made a foul,so it depended much on her third and final round to make it to top eight.Eventually she managed a 6.53 m in her third attempt and that put her in the ninth place.
