Celebrating His Legacy: A Premier Javelin Throwing Event Supporting Indian Athletics

Olympic javelin champion Neeraj Chopra is gearing up for a new competitive season with the support of his new coach, world record holder Jan Zelezny. As he prepares for the upcoming event in Bengaluru on May 24, Chopra is learning essential details about hosting international competitions, including specific lighting requirements for broadcasts, which contributed to the event’s relocation from Haryana. The competition will feature elite javelin throwers such as Thomas Rohler and Anderson Peters, while the participation of Paris Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem is still uncertain. Chopra emphasized the significance of this inaugural event, the NC Classic, highlighting his commitment to giving back to Indian athletics and encouraging young athletes to engage with the sport.
