Neeraj Chopra Classic , also known as the NC Classic, is a World Athletics gold javelin event held in India. [1] Named after the Indian javelin icon Neeraj Chopra, it is the nation's first international javelin event. [2] It offers gold-level ranking points to athletes. [3]
The initial idea was to hold the inaugural competition at Tau Devi Lal Athletic Stadium in Panchkula, a region where Neeraj Chopra started his career. But the venue was shifted to Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru to fulfill the infrastructure requirements for a gold category event. [4] Originally scheduled for 24 May 2025 in Bengaluru, the event was rescheduled to July 5 due to the 2025 India and Pakistan crisis. [5] Julius Yego, Thomas Röhler, Curtis Thompson and other javelin stars participated in the first edition. [6] Laser lights and dance performances kicked off the inaugural edition of the javelin meet. [7]
