New Delhi: Indian javelin sensation and double Olympic medal winner Neeraj Chopra is all set to take part in the 2025 Janusz Kusociński Memorial athletics meet which will be held in Poland on May 23 as reported by Olympics.com. Originally Neeraj was expected to feature in the Neeraj Chopra (NC) Classic scheduled for May 24 in Bengaluru. However the event was postponed making way for him to compete in the 71st edition of the Janusz Kusociński Memorial — a World Athletics Continental Tour Silver-level competition. Launched in 1954 the Chorzów meet ranks among the longest-running athletics events in both Poland and Europe. In this competition Neeraj will go up against high-profile rivals such as Anderson Peters of Grenada — the Paris 2024 Olympic bronze medallist and two-time world titleholder — and Germanys Julian Weber a former European gold medallist. Several elite Polish athletes will also be competing. This appearance will mark Chopras third outing of the year. The 27-year-old began his season at the Potch Invitational in Potchefstroom South Africa where he led a six-man field with a best effort of 84.52 metres. His second competition is the Doha Diamond League on May 16 where he will be joined by fellow Indian thrower and Asian Games silver medallist Kishore Jena. Neeraj is also scheduled to take part in the Ostrava Golden Spike event in Czechia on June 24.
