Hello and welcome to the Live coverage of Day 5 of Inter-State Athletics Championships 2023. Mykhel brings you all the Live updates from Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar. The evening session has begun already but our apologies for the delay in the coverage because of poor network connectivity.

The women's long jump final (5:05 PM IST) is among the main attractions with Shaili Singh competing. Ancy Sojan and Nayana James will be up against the youngster as well.

However, it's the men's long jump final that is seen as the main event of the day with Murali Sreeshankar jumping 8.41 metres in the qualification round on Sunday. His final begins at 6:50 PM IST.

The men's javelin throws final will see the return of Shivpal Singh to the Inter-States since the athlete made his return earlier this year after the doping suspension. However, Rohit Yadav and DP Manu are seen among the favourites for the gold medal while Neeraj Chopra was granted an exemption from the event. The Asian Games qualification standard is set at 78.23 seconds.

The men's 1500m will have national record holder Jinson Johnson in action too as the long-distance runner has been on a comeback trail with the Asian Games approaching. The men's 400m hurdles will have Jabir MP and Federation Cup champion Yashash P vying for the gold medal while Vithya Ramraj is the favourite in the women's final.

The Inter-State Athletics Championships will fold with the men's and women's relay final while the men's shot put will have Tajinderpal Singh Toor in action as well.
