New Delhi. India’s star athlete Tejaswin Shankar created history by winning two medals in Decathalan at the Asian Athletics Championships. He now became the first Indian to do so. He has no regrets to miss the gold medal because he was successful in making a place on the podium for the country. Nation record holder Tejaswin won a silver medal with 7618 points in Gumi, South Korea on Wednesday at Decathalan. He won a bronze medal in the 2023 season.
Tejaswin said, “The difference between gold and silver is 16.3 seconds and this is also the difference between silver, bronze. I think it is more about trying to win a medal. This is definitely less about what could have been done, what should have been done. ”
