Tejaswin Shankar Withdraws from High Jump Final

Tejaswin Shankar, an Indian athlete, decided not to compete in the men's high jump final at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow.

He chose to focus on the decathlon, which starts on July 30, to save his energy for this more challenging event.

Fans were confused when he initially appeared but then did not start the high jump.

Tejaswin won a bronze medal in the high jump at the previous Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Now, he aims to do well in the decathlon.

Other Indian athletes like Sarvesh Kushare and Aadarsh Ram Jothi Shankar will compete in the high jump final.
