Organiser and competitor: Neeraj Chopra plans the addition of other events to NC Classic
Neeraj Chopra will be more than just the star attraction when the inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic unfolds at Bengaluru's Sree Kanteerava Stadium on July 5. The two-time Olympic medallist is not only competing in his trademark javelin event but has also played a central role in shaping what is now India's highest-ranked annual athletics meet. The 2025 edition is currently restricted to the men's javelin throw, but Neeraj confirmed on Thursday that the meet could evolve into a multi-event competition in the toughest part is the training. We get very little time to train. I competed in Paris and Ostrava and then travelled to Bengaluru, so I will try my level best. We also have to arrange everything together," Chopra said during a felicitation function organised by the Karnataka Olympic Neeraj Chopra Classic, which boasts a high-quality international field, comes just days after Chopra's victories at the Paris Diamond League on 20 June and the Ostrava Golden Spike meet on 24 June. "We also have to talk to all the athletes about how to make it better. But everything is going well. We will handle this and also compete. But the biggest goal is to make it (the event) bigger," said Chopra, who also met Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on reigning world champion, aged 27, said Bengaluru was an ideal choice to host a competition of this scale."I am feeling very good. The way the preparations are going, I am very happy. I thank the sports department, Karnataka Olympic Association, Karnataka government for helping me to organise an event in such short notice."They helped me a lot. The biggest reason to do it in Bangalore is that it is a very good city. The weather is good."Chopra expressed hope that the meet would benefit Indian athletes by providing them with exposure to elite competition on home soil."As I said, we are going to add more events. So our Indian athletes who do well at the global level, will get a chance in India to compete among other good athletes. So, we intend to increase this event further," he 12-man javelin field features seven international athletes and five Indians, including Chopra the foreign competitors are Germany's 2016 Olympic gold medallist Thomas Rhler (PB: 93.90m), Kenya's 2015 world champion Julius Yego (PB: 92.72m), Curtis Thompson of the USA (PB: 87.76m), Czech thrower Martin Konecny (PB: 80.59m), Brazil's Luiz Mauricio da Silva (PB: 86.62m), Sri Lanka's Rumesh Pathirage (PB: 85.45m), and Poland's Cyprian Mrzyglod (PB: 85.92m).advertisementThe Indian contingent includes Rohit Yadav, Yashvir Singh, Sachin Yadav, and Sahil and several participants underwent a light training session at the Kanteerava Stadium on Thursday.

Pakistan yet to get government clearance for Asia Cup, Junior Hockey World Cup in India
Senior officials from the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) and Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) have confirmed that they are still awaiting government clearance to participate in two major hockey tournaments scheduled in India later this year — the Men's Asia Cup and the Junior World Asia Cup is slated to be held in Rajgir, Bihar from August 27 to September 7, while the Junior World Cup is set to take place in Chennai and Madurai from November 28 to December Secretary General Rana Mujahid said that a formal request has been submitted to the PSB seeking approval to send national teams to India, but no final word has been received. 'The PSB has forwarded the official query to the concerned ministries, and they are yet to respond,' he was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. PSB spokesperson Khurrum Shahzad added that participation remains unconfirmed until the government communicates its stance. 'We have sent the PHF's request to the Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination, which in turn has forwarded it to the Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A decision is awaited,' Shahzad an Indian sports ministry source clarified on Thursday that Pakistan will not be barred from competing in either event, as doing so would contravene the Olympic Charter, which prohibits political interference in multi-national sporting competitions.'We are not against any team competing in India in a multi-national event. Blocking Pakistan would be a violation of the Olympic Charter. However, there will be no relaxation when it comes to bilateral events,' the source said. The ministry's position also opens the door for Pakistani participation in other upcoming tournaments in India, including the Junior World Cup of Shooting and the World Para Athletics Championships, both scheduled later this year in New and Pakistan have not engaged in any bilateral sporting contest since the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. Even multi-lateral encounters have come under question in the wake of recent geopolitical tensions, including the April Pahalgam terror attack and India's subsequent military response through Operation Sindoor. However, the Olympic Charter, which treats sport as a vehicle for peace and cooperation, compels host nations to accommodate all qualified participants in global events.'Even Russia and Ukraine continue to compete in the same tournaments despite being at war. That's how international sport operates, and we are respecting those norms,' the Indian ministry source for the Asia Cup of cricket, which may feature a high-voltage India-Pakistan clash in September, the official said the ministry has not yet received a request from the BCCI and will address the issue when approached.- EndsMust Watch
