Tejaswin Shankar won bronze in the men's decathlon at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, becoming the first Indian to medal in that event.
He scored 7,976 points over the two-day, 10-event competition despite chronic patellar tendinitis in his knee.
Shankar had withdrawn from the high jump earlier in the Games due to the same injury.
The bronze is his second Commonwealth Games medal after high jump bronze in 2022.
His decathlon national record stands at 8,057 points.
