Commonwealth Games medallist high jumper Tejaswin Shankar bagged a decathlon silver and came close to breaking the national record at the Jim Click Shootout competition in Arizona, USA.

Tejaswin, who won the high jump bronze in the 2022 CWG in Birmingham, competed in the gruelling 10-event decathlon and scored a cumulative 7,648 points—10 less than Bharatinder Singh’s national record of 7,658 set in 2011. The competition was held at the University of Arizona’s Tucson campus and is recognised by United States Track and Field (USTAF).
