Thousands of kilometres away in Devargaon, Nashik, the Kushare family felt a sense of relief, while in Spala, Poland, his coach Jithin Thomas, who couldn’t travel to Glasgow, was overjoyed. Sarvesh shed a few tears of joy. Sarvesh won the first major medal of his career and upgraded Tejaswin Shankar’s bronze medal in the high jump from the last edition to silver. He failed to clear 2.28 metres, but he had sealed second place. Jamaica’s Romaine Beckford also failed to clear the 2.28m mark but won the gold medal based on the countback. Silver for Sarvesh! 🥈 Sarvesh Kushare clears 2.25m to clinch the Silver Medal in the Men’s High Jump at Glasgow 2026.👏 Watch the Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2026 LIVE & EXCLUSIVE on Sony Sports Network TV channels & Sony LIV.#SonySportsNetwork #SonyLIV #Glasgow2026… pic.twitter.com/3e62CEPb5M — …
