Asian Games 2026: Ancy, Sarvesh win silver medals; Tejaswin, Parul Chaudhary bag bronze – Highlights
Decathlon, Discus Throw: A major drop for Tejaswin Shankar
Oh no! Tejaswin Shankar with a below par discus throw and he has conceded his lead. Just 36.77m for the Indian, who gets only 599 points from the event.
Tejaswin falls to third spot behind China's Chen Xinghua (5919) and Japan's Yuma Marayuma (5914) with a cumulative total of 5869 points.
With only three more events left in pole vault, javelin throw, and the 1500m run, Tejaswin might have dug himself into a hole here.
