    Target Olympic Podium Scheme: Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra has reaffirmed his long-term vision to transform the athletics landscape in India, starting with the inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic (NC Classic). Speaking ahead of the javelin meet here on Friday, Chopra shared his dream of creating a platform where international and Indian athletes compete shoulder to shoulder in India.

    Chopra, who is not only the NC Classic organiser but also a competitor, opened up on the core objective behind staging the World Athletics 'A category' meet in India, saying, "The objective is that we have won medals, everything is done. Now, how can we raise javelin? How can we raise athletics? So, about an event, I always used to say that I have a big dream that there should be such an event in India where international athletes compete and our Indian athletes also play with them. So, this is happening.

    "World Athletics, AFI, and brands are supporting from all sides. The Karnataka government has given a lot of support. I am very happy about it. And as you said, all the foreign athletes have come. So, I am very excited to compete with them in India," Chopra told IANS.
