Tejaswin Shankar wins CWG decathlon medal despite chronic knee injury

Indian athlete Tejaswin Shankar secured a Commonwealth Games medal in the decathlon, finishing with 7,976 points across the gruelling 10-event competition held over two days. His achievement came despite battling chronic patellar tendinitis, commonly known as jumper's knee. The same injury had earlier forced him to withdraw from the individual men's high jump event at the Games. Shankar's performance was widely praised as a display of resilience under significant physical strain.
