Tejaswin Shankar withdraws from CWG 2026 high jump final; check details

Tejaswin Shankar withdrew from the CWG 2026 men's high jump final after failing to clear the opening height of 2.05m on his first attempt and appearing in discomfort.

An error on the official Commonwealth Games 2026 results website initially listed Shankar as DNS (Did Not Start), but he was present at Scotstoun Stadium.

Shankar was the defending bronze medallist from Birmingham 2022 and had strong 2026 form, including winning the Asian Indoor Championships heptathlon title with an Indian record.

No official statement was released on the nature of his problem or its potential impact on his planned decathlon participation.
