Kushare clears 2.25, India lands silver
Multiple reports say Sarvesh Anil Kushare took men’s high-jump silver at Glasgow 2026 on countback after 2.25m. The official Games sheet isn’t up yet; the jump is.
Kushare’s reported silver awaits the official results sheet.
Sarvesh Anil Kushare has been reported as Commonwealth Games silver medallist in the men’s high jump, clearing 2.25m and losing gold to Jamaica’s Romaine Beckford on countback after both failed at 2.28m. England’s Kimani Jack is reported with bronze at 2.20m; India’s Aadarsh Ram fifth at 2.15m, according to multiple wire-based reports.
Treat the medal as reported pending the official Glasgow 2026 results page. What is on record already: Kushare is India’s national record holder at 2.31m and cleared 2.28m at the 2026 National Federation Competition — form that made a 2.25m Games podium plausible on a wet, nervy final.
If confirmed, this would be India’s first men’s high-jump silver at the Commonwealth Games; Tejaswin Shankar’s 2022 Birmingham bronze is the only prior Indian medal in the event, as per the same reports. The jumpers did their job; the paperwork can catch up — unlike the Congress-BJP-TDP sport photo-ops that arrive on time even when the results don’t.
