Neeraj Chopra Classic postponed – The Hindu

The inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic, which was scheduled to be held at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium here on May 24, has been postponed until further notice in the wake of rising tensions between India and Pakistan.

“In light of the current situation, the inaugural edition of the NC Classic stands postponed until further notice. This decision has been made after careful thought and consultation, with the well-being of athletes, stakeholders, and the broader community as the top priority. We believe in the unifying power of sport. But, in this critical moment, standing firm with the nation matters most. All our gratitude and thoughts at this point are only with our Armed Forces, who are at the forefront for our nation. A revised schedule for the NC Classic will be provided in due course. Jai Hind,” read a statement from the event organisers.

The event was set to witness the world’s best javelin throwers, including Neeraj Chopra, in action.
