As per the groupings released in Athens today, Anju has several top long jumpers in her group, including French world champion Eunice Barber who has a personal best of 7.05m. Apart from Jones (7.31) and Barber, there are two other jumpers in the group -- Fiona May of Italy and Irina Simgina of Russia both of whom have personal bests of over seven metres. Anju has a personal best of 6.74m and a season best of 6.71m in the build-up to the Olympics and if the script unfolds on form, it could be very tough for her to make it to the podium.
