The inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic makes its bow at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on July 5 at 6:30pm. The first-ever World Athletics Category 'A' event to be held in India, it cements Neeraj Chopra's sporting legacy beyond his sporting achievements as an Olympic and World champion.

The Neeraj Chopra Classic event is scheduled to take place at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru, Karnataka, on July 5.

Neeraj Chopra returns home for the historic NC Classic in Bengaluru, where all eyes are on whether he can replicate his rare 90m throw in front of a home crowd. 90m throws are exceptional: only 1.6 percentage of the top 8001 recorded distance are above the magical mark.
