Tejaswin Shankar’s presence in the decathlon gives the 10-eventer a new sparkle, brings more attention too. The Asian Games silver medallist is also on a campaign to promote the event. The 24-year-old from Delhi broke the one-year-old meet record in the 37th National Games at the Bambolim Athletics Stadium on Tuesday on a night when heavy rain forced the athletics competition to take an hour’s break.
