Sarvesh Kushare grabs silver at the Asian Games, clearing 2.25m to finish second behind Chao‑hsuan Fu of Chinese Taipei.
Kushare's progression through the attempts—2.10, 2.14, 2.18, 2.22—showed steady improvement, but a last‑ditch 2.28 attempt failed in all three tries, leaving him just shy of a gold‑medal height.
The Indian high jumper, who set a national record of 2.31m earlier this year, is now on track for a spot in the Paris 2024 Olympics and a potential World Championship run.
With the Asian Games over, Kushare will focus on the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, aiming to surpass his sixth‑place finish from 2025.
