Javelin throw player Neeraj Chopra, who won two Olympic medals for India, paid tribute to the Pahalgam terror attack victims. He tweeted that hearing about the incident is heart rash. Praying for the victims and their families.
He wrote this but his fans on Twitter reminded him that he recently called his Pakistani rival Arshad Nadeem to Bangalore to participate in the Neeraj Chopra classic spear throw competition.
Significantly, Chopra told reporters in the ‘Virtual Media’ conversation, “I have sent an invitation to Arshad and he has said that he will contact me after discussing with his coach. He has not yet confirmed the participation. ,

The first phase of the Neeraj Chopra classic javelin throw competition will be held on May 24 at the Kantirawa Stadium in Bengaluru instead of Panchkula due to lack of adequate light, in which many star athletes will participate as Anderson Peters and Thomas Rohrler have confirmed the participation.
Grenada’s Peters is a two -time world champion and Rohaller is the 2016 Olympic gold medalist. Chopra said that he has also invited Pakistani Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem who has not yet confirmed the participation.
This competition has been given the status of Category A by World Athletics, which has also changed the name of the site of this tournament in its calendar.
Chopra said, “I wanted the competition to be held in Panchkula, but there are some issues related to lighting in the stadium. World Athletics wanted the light of 600 ‘Lux’ (measure of light intensity) for international broadcasting but there was not so much light available in Panchkula and it would take time to prepare it. ,
The 27 -year -old said, “So this year we have decided to move the competition to the Kantirwa Stadium in Bangalore.” I have spoken to the Chief Minister of Karnataka. We have a JSW team to take care of every aspect of the successful event of the tournament. I think the evening season in Bangalore will be ‘perfect’ for this tournament, players and fans. ,
He said, “Our effort is to provide the best experience to the fans and to provide the best hospitality to the foreign participants. ,
The tournament will be organized jointly by Chopra and JSW Sports in collaboration with the Indian Athletics Federation (AFI) and World Athletics, in which top global and Indian spear throw players will participate.
Chopra said, “I am very associated with this tournament. For a long time, my dream has been to organize such a tournament in India. Now it is like a dream to be true for me. ,
This athlete from Khandra village in Haryana became India’s first gold medalist at Tokyo Olympics and won a silver medal in Paris.
He said, “I am very excited. I have won Olympics and other medals for the country. Now through this tournament, I am giving some back to Indian athletics, Indian players and fans. ,
Peters won a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics and besides Roaler, Julius Yigo of Kenya (2016 is a silver medalist at the Rio Olympics and the gold medalist of the 2015 World Championships) and Kartis Thompson of America (top in the current session from Kurtis Thompson (87.76 meters top in the current session) have also been confirmed.
Chopra said without mentioning, “Some more European players will also be involved. A Brazilian athlete, who qualified for the final at the Paris Olympics, has also confirmed participation. ,
However, it can be Luis da Silva who finished 11th in Paris with the best throw of 80.67 meters.
Chopra said, “I am also competing. Yesterday I talked to Rohit (Yadav) and will compete three to four Indians. This will be a very good chance to get ranking points for the World Championship to be held in Tokyo (September). ,
He said that his current coach John Jeshani suggested that the competition should be named after the Indian superstar.
Chopra said, “I was talking to my coach Jealangi about this tournament and he said that it would be good if it is named after my name.” Some tournaments are conducted in the name of some famous players, which I was quite inspired such as Mondo Classic and Kip Cano Classic, which are held in the name of all the players. ,
He said that Neeraj Chopra Classic would be an annual competition and hoped that apart from the spear throw, other competitions will also be included in it.
Chopra said, “I want to tell that this tournament will be annual. Right now it will be just a javelin throw competition of men. But in future I hope that women’s competition and other events will also be added to it. ,
He said, “We (India) are good in long jump (male and female), are also good in 3000 meter steeplechase, we can include these tournaments in future. The men’s 100 meter team is doing well, their time is getting better. ,
He said, “This tournament got the World Athletics A class which was surprised for me. We will try to bring a diamond league competition in India. We have a stadium to host them and it will also be good for world athletics to popularize athletics. World athletics knows that athletics in India is increasing. ,
Fans will have to buy tickets to see Neeraj Chopra classic javelin throw competition. Chopra said, “There will be different box tickets for this competition. But we will try to do not have a lot of ticket price. ,
Chopra made a great start to the session by winning the Pocch Invitational Track Tournament with an 84.52 meter throw in Potchefstruj, South Africa on 16 April.
His next tournament will be the Doha phase of the Diamond League competition on 16 May. Chopra said about his participation in the tournament, “I did not know about the preparations for the event that there are enough for ‘Fludlights Live Telecasting’, is there a comfortable for those who was a washroom and changing room for international spears.” I had never considered such things while playing. ,
