NEW DELHI:

The top flight javelin competition, a World Athletics event, was scheduled to be held in Bengaluru on May 24, and some of the world's top javelin throwers had confirmed their participation. The event was headlined by India's two-time Olympic medallist and reigning world champion Neeraj Chopra.

"In light of the current situation, the inaugural edition of the NC Classic stands postponed until further notice. The decision has been made after careful thought and consultation, with the well-being of athletes, stakeholders, and the broader community as the top priority," a statement issued by Team NC Classic said.

"We believe in the unifying power of sport. But, in this critical moment, standing firm with the national matters most. All our gratitude and thoughts at this point are only with our Armed Forces, who are at the forefront of our nation," the statement added.
