The World Athletics Championship 2022 will kick start on July 16 in the United States of America. The 18th edition of the event will be held across the states of Eugene and Oregon. The Athletics Federation of India had announced a 22-member contingent to compete at the 10-day-long tournament. Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra will be India's flagbearer. India have won just one medal at the finals, that too a bronze in 2003 when Anju Bobby George finished third in the women's long jump event. Murali Shreeshankar will be in action on the opening day in the men's long jump event.
