The Neeraj Chopra Classic:

Two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra was pleased but reflective after securing victory at the inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic. While satisfied with the overall outcome, the reigning world champion admitted that his technique was not at its best and the conditions were less than ideal — factors that, he believed, prevented him from achieving a 90-meter throw.

Neeraj Chopra dominated the NC Classic 2025, winning the event named in his honour in breezy weather at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium. The 27-year-old logged a winning throw of 86.18 meters, which came on his third attempt.
