The World Athletics Championships 2023 begis on Saturday (August 19) in Budapest in Hungary. There are 27 athletes from India who are taking part in the tournament. All eyes will be on India's main contender for a medal Neeraj Chopra. He is defending the silver medal he won last year. At the same time, Neeraj will be looking to change the colour of the medal in men's javelin. Neeraj will face stiff competition from the likes of Grenada's Anderson Peters, Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem among other high-quality throwers. 

India will pin hopes on Avinash Sable, who has taken rapid leaps in 3000m Steeplechase event. Sable is aiming for his first medal at the Worlds and there is no reason why he should not be dreaming about it.

Not to forget, India have won just 2 World Championships medals in the history of the tournament. Neeraj won it in 2022 and before him, it was Anju Bobby George who had won a bronze in long jump in 2003. M Sreeshankar and Jeswain Aldrin will be hoping to repeat the feat this year in the event. Watch out for Jyothi Yarraji as well in 100m hurdles.
