The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) is celebrating the second ‘Javelin Throw Day’ on August 7, 2022.
The day was first observed in 2021 in honour of Javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, who won India’s first Olympic gold medal in athletics at Tokyo.
This decision to observe Javelin Throw Day is also an attempt to attract more youth towards the sport and get champions ready for a bright future in athletics ahead.
