    Athletics: Tejaswin Shankar Kicks Off Season With Victory In Texas, Tailwinds Deny National Record In Decathlon

    By IANS News March 28, 2026 • 16:10 PM View: 309
    National Collegiate Athletic Association: Tejaswin Shankar kicked off his decathlon season in impressive fashion at the 2026 David Noble Relays at San Angelo in Texas, USA, claiming victory with a new wind-assisted personal best score of 7947 points.

    While Tejaswin’s score at Texas surpassed the previous national record of 7826 points set by him in Poland last year, it will not be recognised as a record according to World Athletics Rules due to excessive tailwinds.

    According to World Athletics rules implemented since 2010, performances in combined events like the decathlon can only be considered for records if the average wind assistance during the 100m, long jump, and 110m hurdles remains at or below +2.0m/s.
