The highly anticipated javelin clash between India’s Neeraj Chopra and Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem at the Silesia Diamond League on August 16, 2025, will not take place. Both withdrew from the entry list: Nadeem is recovering from right calf surgery, while Chopra’s withdrawal reason is undisclosed. This cancellation dashes hopes for a rematch following their memorable Paris 2024 Olympic duel, where Nadeem won gold and Chopra took silver. Fans will now look to the upcoming World Athletics Championships in Tokyo this September for a possible renewed face-off between the two star throwers. (PC: PTI)
