During the week of August 19–27, Hungary will host the premier athletics competition. “Just learned that Kishore Jena’s VISA has problems, preventing him from travelling to Hungary for the World C’ships. One of the most important moments in his career is at stake, therefore I hope the authorities can find a solution. All efforts should be made. Twitter user Neeraj wrote, “@MEAIndia @DrSJaishankar.
Neeraj Chopra, an Olympic gold medalist in the javelin throw, will lead India’s 28-person team at the World Athletics Championships. Chopra’s silver in the men’s javelin event ended India’s 19-year medal drought at the competition.
At the championships, the steeplechaser Avinash Sable, the long jumper Murali Sreeshankar, and the hurdler Jyothi Yarraji will all compete. The Asian Athletics Championships in Bangkok last month forced shot putter Tajinderpal Singh Toor to quit after suffering a groyne injury. Despite throwing 20.23 metres to win a gold, he hurt himself in the process. Tajinder already withdrew from the 2022 Championships in Eugene owing to a groyne injury, making this the second consecutive World Championship he will miss because of injury.
Tejaswin, however, will concentrate on the Asian Games 2023, which are scheduled to take place from September 23 to October 8 in Hangzhou, China.
Tajinderpal Singh Toor, the Asian champion in the shot put, and Tejaswin Shankar, a gold in the high jump at the Commonwealth Games, will not compete in the next World Athletics Championships.
