Indian Unit To Be Spearheaded By Neeraj Chopra In Doha Diamond League

In the men’s javelin throw event, he will be joined by fellow Indian Kishore Jena, who came ninth last year with a throw of 76.31m.

Meanwhile, Gulveer Singh will join the javelin duo in track, and is the national record holder in men’s 5000m. He will be making his Diamond League debut. India’s national record holder in women’s 3000m steeplechase, Parul Chaudhary will also be in action.

Chopra was also supposed to participate in his own tournament, the NC Classic this month, but due to the Indo-Pak tensions, he had to postpone it. In a statement, his team announced, “This decision has been made after careful thought and consultation, with the wellbeing of athletes, stakeholders, and the broader community as the top priority.”
