World Athletics Championships 2025 Day 5 Highlights: Neeraj Chopra and Arshad Nadeem Shine Brightly
The World Athletics Championships 2025 promises to be an exciting event, with some of the world's best athletes competing. Among the notable participants are Neeraj Chopra and Arshad Nadeem, who will lead a historic 4-person and 1-person Indian and Pakistani contingent, respectively.
In the men's javelin throw, both Chopra and Nadeem have been placed in separate qualification groups. Chopra will compete in Group A, which starts at 3:40 PM IST on September 17, while Nadeem will be in Group B, with his qualifiers starting from 5:15 PM IST on the same day.
Neeraj Chopra, who won India's first individual gold medal at the Olympics in 2020, will be looking to continue his impressive form. He withdrew the invite he extended to Arshad Nadeem for the NC Classic, but the two will still go head-to-head in Tokyo.
