Jyothi Yarraji, the nation's 100-meter hurdles record holder, came in eighth in her heat on Tuesday in Budapest, failing to advance to the semifinals of the 2023 World Athletics Championships. The 23-year-old Yarraji finished 29th overall and ninth in heat four with a subpar 13.05 second time.

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.
