Neeraj Chopra Headlines 28-Member Indian Team For Olympics, Long Jumper Jeswin Aldrin Set To Be Included Later
India on Thursday named a 28-member athletics team for the upcoming Paris Olympics, headlined by superstar javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, but one more athlete -- long jumper Jeswin Aldrin -- is expected to be included by the national federation later. The 26-year-old Tokyo Games gold medallist and reigning world champion in javelin throw has decided to skip the last Diamond League this weekend in Paris in order to prepare for the quadrennial extravaganza as almost all the selected names are on expected lines.
