National record-holder Tejas Shirse’s historic appearance in the Commonwealth Games’ men’s 110m hurdles final ended in pain and heartbreak after he ran the race with a stress fracture in his left foot to finish eighth and last in the event.

The 24-year-old sustained a navicular stress fracture in his left foot during the warm-up for the final. Instead of pulling out, Shirse ran with a heavily taped foot. He finished last in the eight-man field in 15.39 seconds, grimacing in pain before hobbling off the track.
