A job as an accountant & competing in decathlon at Asian Games - CWG 2022 bronze medallist high-jumper Tejaswin Shankar's next set of plans
Commonwealth Games (CWG) medal is spending quality time with family and then starting his job as an accountant in the US, besides planning his high-jump calendar for next year. Before August 3, no Indian track and field athlete could ever jump the bar set high enough to bag a podium-finish at CWG. Shankar, with his effort of 2.22m at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham on Wednesday, rewrote that piece of history with a bronze medal around his neck. But it wasn't smooth sailing for him until a month or so ago, when he had to go to court after his name didn't feature in the list of athletes included in India's Commonwealth Games contingent. An NCAA athlete and student of Kansas University, Shankar won the high-jump title there in June this year with a jump of 2.27m and with that achieved the qualification standard for CWG. However, he didn't find his name in the list of Indian contingent. The reason was that he missed competing in the Senior Inter-State Athletics Championships in India. But the Delhi High Court ruled in Shankar's favour after a lot of drama and less than a week before the competition, the Indian Olympic Association gave the green signal and his entry was approved, though he had to still watch the Opening Ceremony of the Birmingham Games from his couch at home. Looking ahead to his professional career both on and off the field, Shankar wants to put the past behind him. He revealed those plans and much more in a media interaction organised by the Sports Authority of India and JSW Sports for a select group of journalists, to which TimesofIndia.com was also invited.

2022 college football breakthrough and bounce-back candidates
Michigan, Baylor and Utah State went a combined 5-16 in the abbreviated 2020 college football season. Predictably, this knocked all three programs off of the radar screen entering the 2021 season. Embattled head coach Jim Harbaugh and Michigan picked up a smattering of preseason AP Top 25 votes but were picked fourth in the Big Ten East. Baylor was voted eighth in the Big 12, closer to last-place Kansas than the top half of the conference. Utah State, under new head coach Blake Anderson, was voted fifth in the Mountain West's Mountain Division, far closer to last-place New Mexico than the rest of the pack.
CWG 2022: Racing against time, Tejaswin Shankar talks about ‘right timing’
Your correspondent, all of five-feet-11, mask on mouth, documents in hand, was hopping on either foot for the Delhi-Dubai-Birmingham check-in to move even one inch. It was well past midnight, yawns were being stifled, bored looks thrown all around, when suddenly he was dwarfed by a good six foot plus frame who ambled up right behind. In the sudden discomfort of having to raise the head and look up to someone, it was difficult to recognize the face behind the mask.
