BENGALURU: The Covid-19 pandemic ended many sportspersons’ careers but for Bengaluru shooter Tejas Krishna Prasad, who was among the Tokyo Olympics probables, the disruption came as a blessing in disguise as he pursued his dreams to become a civil servant. On Tuesday, the air rifle marksman cleared the Civil Services Examination and was ranked 243.
"Being a sportsperson helped me to stay focused and crack the civil services on my second attempt. Based on last year's cut-off I think I will get IAS — which is my first choice. Even during the interview questions revolved mostly about sports," Tejas told TOI.
