World Athletics Championships 2022: Neeraj Chopra, Avinash Sable and full list of Indians, schedule, livestreaming and TV timing

The 2017 World Champion javelin thrower, Johannes Vetter of Germany has pulled out of the upcoming World Athletics Championship 2022 in Oregon due to an injury, which would mean that there will be no clash with Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra. Vetter, who was in superb form in the lead-up to the Tokyo Olympic Games, was the favourite to win the title in Tokyo but could not produce the same performance and finished out of the medals. Chopra went on to win the gold medal in Tokyo with a brilliant performance.

Excited to announce that I'm part of the Fantasy World Athletics Champs game as a Super-Player!
