Indian High Jumper Tejaswin Shankar mentioned he was misplaced for phrases after going by way of a roller-coaster of feelings earlier than getting clearance for the upcoming Commonwealth Games.

The High Jumper’s participation was unsure initially because the request from the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) for his inclusion was initially rejected by the organizers. However, he lastly bought the affirmation from the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) and Birmingham CWG organizers after a Delegate Registration Meeting

This ended a month-long saga for Shankar and on Friday he was cleared to compete within the occasion. Speaking to PTI, the 23-year-old mentioned that he was confused because it had been a roller-coaster of feelings.

“I am at loss of words, I can’t say now whether I am happy or sad. It has been a roller-coaster of emotions. I can’t believe even now that I have been cleared for the CWG. I can’t say I am surprised or shocked. It has been ‘haan aur naa’ (yes and no), it has been like that for five to six times, so it is hard to believe,” mentioned Shankar.

Despite his season greatest mark of two.27 m being within the prime 5 performances amongst the Commonwealth Athletes, Shankar is not fascinated by a medal simply but.

The 23-year-old mentioned that he needed to endure quite a bit and could be seeking to choose up the items. The High Jumper mentioned that he could be seeking to give his greatest on the video games and in addition expressed his hope in getting the visa formalities completed shortly.

“I have endured a lot and I need to pick up the pieces. I am not thinking about medal or even the competition itself. I can only say that I will give my best at the Games.”

“I have to first complete visa formalities, I have not done anything. Hopefully, it will be done on time,” mentioned Shankar.
