NEW DELHI - India's Asian Games silver medallist Murali Sreeshankar will miss the Paris Olympics with a knee injury sustained in training this week, the long jumper said on Thursday.

Sreeshankar will have surgery after hurting his knee on Tuesday, which ruled him out "of the one single thing I have chased relentlessly all these years," the 25-year-old wrote in an emotional social media post.

"Life writes strange scripts, and sometimes there is courage in accepting it and moving on. That's what I'll do," wrote the Commonwealth Games silver medallist.
