Sarvesh Kushare wins Commonwealth high jump silver
Sarvesh Kushare won silver in men's high jump at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, clearing 2.25m.
Jamaica's Romaine Beckford won gold on countback; Kimani Jack of England won bronze with 2.20m.
Kushare became the first Indian to win silver in men's high jump at CWG, bettering Tejaswin Shankar's bronze from 2022.
Kushare was born in Devargaon, Nashik district, Maharashtra, and learned high jump on a makeshift mat of corn husks and discarded clothes.
He joined the Indian Army in 2016 after failing earlier attempts, which provided better coaching and facilities.
