Neeraj-led India field 4 in javelin for Tokyo Worlds
Hindustan Times Delhi
|September 01, 2025
Reigning world javelin champion Neeraj Chopra heads a 19-member Indian squad for the Tokyo world athletics championships (September 13 to 2), the Athletics Federation of India announced on Sunday.
Chopra, who gets wild card as the 2023 Budapest Worlds champion, travels to Japan's capital where he delivered India’s greatest track and field moment by winning the Olympic gold four years ago. He won silver in the 2022 Eugene worlds before claiming silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Although he produced his first 90-plus throw in the Doha Diamond League (90.23m) in May, there is some concern over the 27-year-old’s form after he managed only 85.01m to finish second in the Zurich Diamond League Finals on Thursday. India will field four in men’s javelin.
