World Athletics Championships: Neeraj Chopra Set To Defend Title And Lead Indian Contingent In Tokyo

By IANS News September 12, 2025 • 17:36 PM View: 535

Triple Jumpers Abdulla Aboobacker: Men’s javelin throw defending champion Neeraj Chopra leads an inspired Indian squad, joined by veterans like Annu Rani and debutant sprint sensation Animesh Kujur at the World Athletics Championships 2025 in Tokyo, Japan, from Saturday.

Chopra will enter competition as the first-ever defending world champion from India, having claimed the men’s javelin throw title in Budapest two years back.

He made history by winning gold in Budapest two years ago, becoming the first Asian winner of the men's world javelin title. Ever since his breakthrough Olympic triumph in 2021, javelin fans have been wondering when Chopra would breach the 90-metre line.
