NEW DELHI :India's Olympic javelin gold medallist Neeraj Chopra said it was now "completely out of the question" that rival Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan will attend his meet in Bengaluru next month following Tuesday's deadly Islamist militant attack in Indian Kashmir.
Former Pakistan cricket team spinner Danish Kaneria slammed Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar for calling the Pahalgam attack terrorists 'freedom fighters'. Kaneria had previously criticised Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as well for his silence on the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir. The attack in Pahalgam was the deadliest assault in the Kashmir Valley since the 2019 Pulwama attack. While the incident resulted in a lot of criticism from all around the world, Ishaq Dar made a bizarre claim by calling the terrorists "freedom fighters". Kaneria was left fuming by the comment as he called it ‘disgraceful' and said that this is "an open admission of state-sponsored terrorism".
Pakistan's Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem on Wednesday said he has declined Neeraj Chopra's invitation to compete in the NC Classic javelin event in Bengaluru on May 24 as that will clash with his training schedule for the upcoming Asian Athletics Championships. Nadeem, however, said he was grateful to Chopra for inviting him for the event. "The (NC) Classic event is from 20th May (May 24) whereas I am scheduled to leave for Korea on 22nd May for the Asian Athletics Championship," Nadeem said. He said he had been training hard for the Asian Championship which will be held in Gumi, Korea from May 27 to 31.

The maiden edition of Neeraj Chopra Classic javelin throw event on May 24 has been shifted from Panchkula to Bengaluru due to inadequate lighting at the original venue for live telecast but the field will be teeming with stars as the likes of Anderson Peters and Thomas Rohler have confirmed their participation. Peters, who hails from Grenada, is a two-time world champion and Rohler is the gold-medallist from the 2016 Olympics. Chopra said he has also invited Pakistani Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem who is, however, yet to confirm participation.
A cricket World Cup, half a dozen Olympic medals and two chess world champions. Year 2024 gave the average Indian sports fan unprecedented reasons to celebrate as peaks outnumbered the valleys in a confident march towards a promising future. Tales that bear repeating were many but the year going by will primarily be remembered for four dates -- June 29, July 30, December 12 and December 28. A big step towards the future was the formal expression of intent to host the 2036 Olympics, a move that has the potential to change the sporting landscape of the country.
