Hand held at Sri Kantirwa Stadium in Bengaluru, this is the first time India is hosting an international track and field event of such height, keeping it on a global map similar to cities like Doha, Paris and Nairobi.

“It feels great that such an incident is happening in India and such good athletes have come here to compete together. I am very excited for this incident. It is difficult to organize and play together. I have always focused on playing, but now I have to take care of everything. As an organizer, I have to think about all these small things.
The evening spotlight event, of course, begins at 7:00 pm, men’s spear throw, where Neeraj will take some of the best in the world. The lineup features top contestants such as Olympic champion Thomas Roaler (Germany), former world champion Julius Yigo (Kenya), and Curtis Thompson (USA) and Cyprian MRJilgol (Poland).
