World Para Athletics Grand Prix: Tokyo Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra will step in as an organiser with the inaugural edition of the Neeraj Chopra Classic javelin throw competition, which is scheduled to be held at the Tau Devi Lal Stadium in Panchkula, Haryana, on May 24, the World Athletics confirmed on Thursday.
Scheduled as NC Classic, the one-day javelin throw meet is classified as a World Athletics ‘A’ category event, equal to a Continental Tour Gold-level competition in ranking points. The Continental Tour, a second-tier global athletics series behind the Diamond League, was launched in 2020 as the successor to the World Challenge series and features four tiers - gold, silver, bronze, and challenger.
With two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra, who won gold in the Tokyo Olympics and then followed it up with a silver in 2024, the NC Classic 2025 will see some of the top javelin throwers from all around the world competing in India for the first time.
