Ankit Sharma is 24th overall.
Long Jump - It is highly unlikely that Ankit Sharma is going to qualify and just the official confirmation remains.
LONG JUMP - Ankit Sharma hits a distance of 7.67m in his third attempt and that takes him to 12th place in his group.
Ankit Sharma has one attempt remaining and he needs to make the best of it.
Long Jump update - Only two have qualified by virtue of them jumping more than 8.15 metres. Jeff Henderson (USA) and Jianan Wang (China)
This is really disappointing from the Indian long jumper and now it seems unlikely that he is going to qualify.
Ankit Sharma two jumps two fouls. One more chance. if he can't even get a proper jump in what is the bloody point! #Rio2016 #Athletics

Hello friends and welcome to Sportskeeda’s live coverage of the 2016 Rio Olympics. Today we have for you members of the Indian athletic contingent in action. Long jumper Ankit Sharma and 400m runner Muhammad Anas Yahiya are going to be in action during the course of the next couple of hours.
India has sent a huge athletics contingent to the 2016 Rio Olympics and that is certainly a great sign. Should any of our athletes get a medal, it would be an incredible achievement. Muhammad Anas, the 21-year-old from Kerala, is the third athlete in Indian history to qualify for the event. Ankit Sharma, on the other hand, is a promising 24-year-old from Uttar Pradesh who has a personal best of 8.19 (outdoor) and would like to improve upon the same.
