Tejaswin Shankar wins historic CWG decathlon bronze despite knee injury

Tejaswin Shankar is an athlete from India who does the decathlon, a competition with ten different events.

Before the big competition, his right knee started hurting a lot.

The pain was so bad that he had to stop doing the high jump and thought he could not compete.

Doctors and helpers worked very hard for two days to make his knee better, using special machines and therapy.

On the day of the decathlon, he was still in pain, but he competed anyway.

He did great and won a bronze medal, which is third place.

He is the first person from India to ever win a medal in the decathlon at the Commonwealth Games.

To celebrate, he did something funny — he ate some grass from the field, just like tennis star Novak Djokovic does.

He said it felt like a movie, and he was proud that he could figure things out even when facing tough problems.
