Anju Bobby George failed to qualify for the finals of women's long jump event at the Beijing Olympics on Tuesday. All three attempts by Anju in the qualifying heats were fouls. It was a big disappoint not only for Indian fans but for Anju herself as she failed to put up even single clean jump, squandering all three chances. It required an out of the skin show to make the finals grade as the qualifying mark was as high as 6.75 metres or the 12 best jumps.
