"We Have Come A Long Way...": Neeraj Chopra Recalls His Time With Tejaswin Shankar After Athlete's Historic Bronze In High Jump
Indian athlete Tejaswin Shankar wrote history on Wednesday by winning India's first ever medal in high jump event in the Commonwealth Games history. At the ongoing Games in Birmingham, the 23-year-old Shankar finished third on the podium by clearing a high jump of 2.22m in the final. Bahamas' Donald Thomas and Joel Clarke-Khan of England also cleared an equal height as of Shankar but they needed more than one attempt to do it while the Indian athlete was successful in his single try.
