Tejaswin Shankar At Commonwealth Games 2026 Live Updates: Indian Star Sits Seventh After Decathlon 100m

After a disappointing 100m, Tejaswin Shankar has made a positive response in the men’s decathlon long jump. The Indian cleared 7.42m with his very first attempt, producing a powerful take-off and enough distance to put himself back in the mix.

The landing was slightly untidy, but the jump itself was a strong statement and should earn him valuable points as the competition moves deeper into Day 1.

The men’s decathlon long jump is now underway, and Tejaswin Shankar is yet to begin his jumps. After the opening 100m event, the Indian is currently 11th in the overall standings, which places him second from the bottom of the field. He will be hoping for a strong performance in the long jump to recover valuable points and move up the leaderboard.

Tejaswin Shankar looked confident in Heat 2 of the men’s decathlon 100m, lining up alongside defending champion Lindon Victor and Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Damian Warner.

The Indian made a decent start but faded in the second half and finished last among the six runners, clocking 10.96s for 870 points. Warner won the heat in 10.21s (1,044 pts), while Victor finished second in 10.54s (966 pts).

After the first event, Tejaswin is seventh overall, 170 points behind the leader and 91 points off the provisional medal positions.

The first event of the two-day battle has begun, and India’s Tejaswin Shankar is set to line up in Heat 2 of the men’s decathlon 100m.

Scotland’s Callum Newby has already laid down an early marker, clocking 10.76 seconds to win the opening heat. That is a sharp start in decathlon terms and gives the rest of the field a clear benchmark. Tejaswin will now look for a clean, efficient sprint to open his campaign on a positive note.
