Jeswin Aldrin and Praveen Chithravel are the sole representatives from India participating in the World Athletics Indoor Championships 2024. They aim to kick off the Olympic year with a strong start, striving to make a significant impact at the beginning of the season and earn valuable ranking points.
None of the medallists at the Asian meet, or other fancied athletes like long jumper Murali Sreeshankar will be in action at the global event. But Jeswin and Praveen will both eye impressive outings in the lead-up to other major events.
For Jeswin, the Worlds Meet offers a golden opportunity to make the Paris Olympic Games 2024 cut, and he will be striving hard to achieve that mark.
