The Neeraj Chopra Classic international javelin competition will be held on July 5 at Bengaluru’s Sree Kanteerava Stadium, JSW Sports announced on Tuesday.
The event was originally scheduled for May 24 but had to be put off after cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan erupted.
Alongside Neeraj Chopra, the meet is set to see participation from the likes of Anderson Peters, Julius Yego — both world champions — and 2016 Rio Olympics gold medallist Thomas Rohler among others.
The extravaganza is a collaboration between Neeraj, JSW Sports, the Athletics Federation of India and World Athletics.
