World Athletics Championship Final: When to Watch?
The World Athletics Championship javelin throw final will kick off at 3:53 PM IST.
Neeraj Chopra enters the 2025 final as the defending champion, having won the 2023 edition of the tournament.
Notably, Arshad Nadeem, who beat him at the Paris Olympics final, was the runner-up at the 2023 World Athletics Championship. This meeting can result in quite an exciting India vs Pakistan duel.
The two countries recently met in the world of cricket at the ACC Asia Cup, where India bested its arch rival by a mile. That encounter also made headlines after Indian cricketers refused to shake hands with their Pakistani counterparts as a statement following the Pahalgam terrorist attack from earlier this year.
Therefore, it will be interesting to see if such a gesture is also seen from Neeraj Chopra in the athletics field.
