Tejaswin Shankar exuded relief after winning India's first-ever high-jump medal at the CWG 2022, a historic bronze medal. The man, who almost didn't make it to Birmingham, was content just to be able to return with a medal, which he said belonged to the nation via him rather than to himself.

Another day at the Commonwealth Games 2022, and a major focus will be on athletics again, as a few Indian will be in the fray today as well. The biggest hope for India from the track will be Avinash Sable, who will be seen in action in the men's 3000m steeplechase and 5000m final.

After failing a drug test for a prohibited substance, a member of the Indian women's 4x100m relay team that is headed to the CWG will be removed from the team.

Murali Sreeshankar, after proving to be a big flop at the Tokyo Olympics, has had a wonderful year so far, where he had a personal best jump of 8.36m. Consistency and some improvements in technique make him a medal contender for the World Championship, as well as the Commonwealth Games.
