World Athletics VP Adille Sumariwalla: World Athletics vice president Adille Sumariwalla believes the Neeraj Chopra Classic 2025 is just ‘a small step’ in what is yet to come and the event, alongside India’s hold in athletics, will continue to rise in future.

The Neeraj Chopra Classic, sanctioned by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) and co-organised by two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra, has attracted elite talent from around the globe. This is India's first international javelin event set to take place at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium here on Saturday.

"It's a great platform. Everyone should come and watch to see some of the best throwers in the world. Neeraj is not only an icon in India but across the world. He has worked hard and done well for himself. He has got all the right awards, wins and he is a role model for everybody.
