Great to see such detailed results from across age groups and states. The depth in men's long jump is impressive, with three athletes over 7.77m. However, I wish there was more media coverage for these domestic competitions. Our athletes work so hard and deserve a bigger spotlight.

As someone new to following Indian athletics, this is so inspiring! Mubassina's steady series of jumps shows real consistency. Also, kudos to Bhavani Yadav from Railways – always great to see athletes from services teams performing well.

Bengaluru becoming a real hub for athletics! The Anju Bobby George Foundation campus seems to be producing results. Mubassina's jump of 6.38m is a good step towards the international qualifying mark. Let's hope she gets the right support to breach the 6.70m range soon. Jai Hind!

The men's triple jump battle between Aboobacker and Chithravel must have been thrilling! 16.83m vs 16.78m is so close. Also happy to see Tamil Nadu athletes doing well in pole vault and women's triple jump. A truly national competition.

So many young girls winning in the U18 and U20 categories! Tamanna, Kashish, Harshini... this is the next generation. We need more corporate sponsorships for these young athletes so they can focus fully on training. 💪
