World Athletics Championships News

Javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, a gold medalist at the Olympics and the World Championships said on Wednesday that India would submit a proposal for the 2027 World Athletics Championships.

There is hardly any doubt that there isn't a finer athlete in India than Neeraj Chopra. After winning the Olympics gold medal, and Diamond League final, he completed his set with the World Championships gold on Sunday and is raring to go for more.

Four men's javelin throwers from India have qualified for the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary, later this month, which is an uncommon occurrence in Indian athletics. However, due to an injury to one of the members, all of them will not compete in the high-profile competition.

With a meet record leap of 8.26 metres, Jeswin Aldrin clinched the men's long jump top spot at the National Games 2022. This accomplishment also enabled him to earn a spot at the Budapest, Hungary, venue of the 2023 World Athletics Championships, which is a huge achievement as well.
