GUMI (SOUTH KOREA): (May 26) The redoubtable Neeraj Chopra will be missing in action but the 59-strong Indian contingent would nonetheless aim for a double-digit medal haul, riding primarily on strong performances by its track athletes when the 26th Asian Athletics Championship gets underway here on Tuesday.
Chopra has yet again decided to skip the biennial event to focus on the Diamond League series leaving Pakistan’s Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem as the top draw in the men’s javelin throw competition.
The Indian challenge in this event would be anchored by the relatively inexperienced Sachin Yadav and Yashvir Singh. PTI
