India's Sarvesh Kushare came up with a stunning performance to finish sixth in the Men's High Jump in the World Athletics Championships at the National Stadium here on Tuesday night, ending the historic night with a personal best leap.
Kushare, who made history by becoming the first Indian to enter the final of Men's High Jump in the World Championships, came up with a personal best effort of 2.28 metres to finish sixth in the World Championships. He had qualified for the final on Sunday with another brilliant performance.
After starting with a failed jump on his first turn, Kushare came back strongly to eventually leap over the bar for 2.28m. The Indian went for a clearance of 2.31m but failed to clear the mark in three attempts and bowed out of the final. Clearing 2.31 would have put him among the top five and closer to the medal winners.
