Neeraj Chopra-Arshad Nadeem face off set for 1st time after Olympics 2024
"Neeraj Chopra will face Arshad Nadeem. The Indian-Pakistani battle awaiting the Polish fans will be the first opportunity for revenge after the Paris Olympics," the organisers said while announcing the participants of the prestigious DL event."The Pakistani's form remains something of a mystery, as he rarely appears on the European circuit. The exception he will make on August 16th results from his desire to face Chopra.""The latter became the 26th thrower in history to surpass 90 metres this spring. And he is certainly yearning for more." Since the Paris Olympics, Neeraj has joined hands with Jan Zelezny in a bid to improve himself and has seen some big results go his way. Nadeem, ended his 2024 season with the Paris Olympics gold and took part in only one event this year. The Pakistan javelin star won gold in the Asian Championships in Gumi, South Korea, on May 31 with a throw of 86.40m. The event in Silselia will also help both men in their preparations for the World Championships in Tokyo, which will take place in September. - EndsMust Watch

Ludhiana: Swimming enthusiasts in Ludhiana can now dive in year-round, as the city's first all-weather indoor swimming pool — built to Olympic specifications — has been completed under the national Smart City Mission. The ₹5.82 crore facility, located near Rakh Bagh, was officially inspected this week by municipal commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal, who toured the site with senior civic officials. Equipped with modern filtration systems and temperature-control machinery, the pool is designed to operate in all seasons, making it accessible for recreational and training use regardless of external weather conditions. "The all-weather pool is ready, and registrations will open for residents soon," said Dachalwal. "It's a world-class facility, and maintenance protocols are being put in place to ensure its longevity." The indoor pool measures 25 m in length and 12.5 m in width, closely aligning with Olympic standards. It features five lanes with a depth ranging from 4.5 to 6 feet, accommodating swimmers of various skill levels. Officials said safety measures have been prioritised for users of all ages.
