Monaco, Jul 22 (PTI) National record holder triple jumper Praveen Chithravel finished sixth in his debut Diamond League Meeting in Monaco with a below-par show here.
Chitravel, whose national mark stands at 17.37m, could only produce a best jump of 16.59m which came in the fifth round on Friday.

Hugues Fabrice Zango of Burkina Faso won the event with a final round jump of 17.70m while World U-20 champion and season leader Jaydon Hibbert (17.66m) of Jamaica and Yasser Mohammed Triki (17.32m) of Algeria were second and third respectively.
