바카라There was a lot of travelling, we had to adjust to various climatic conditions and then competing with the best in the world. I had a kind of breakthrough in my career with the silver medal at the Commonwealth Games.
바카라My ranking has also improved a lot. I was somewhere around 60s when the season was about to begin. From here I have to build, Paris (Olympics) is just two years away and I am sure I will be able to build from here.바카라

바카라To get there at the top is difficult, but I am sure it is possible with more international exposure,바카라 he said. 바카라Asian Games, CWG, National Games all these competitions are build up towards Paris Olympics,바카라 added Sreeshankar.
바카라Medals in these events will definitely boost my morale ahead of Paris. I want to continue the same momentum in the Asian Games.바카라 The 23-year-old long jumper from Palakkad in Kerala is expecting a tough competition in the National Games, especially in jump events.
바카라For jumpers the National Games is not a cake walk. We have three jumpers above 8.15. We have to think every national championships like a world level tournament, because the competition is very high, the domestic circuit is highly competitive. We have to be at our level best,바카라 he said.
바카라We are really excited about the National Games because it is my first and is happening after a long gap of seven years. For us National Games is as important as any other major tournament because it's the biggest sporting spectacle in the country. All athletes will be meeting at the same place and celebrate Indian sports.바카라
