World Athletics Championships 2023: Schedule for Indian athletes

This much-anticipated World Athletics Championships 2023 will be held from 19 to 27 August 2023 at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest, Hungary. Reigning Olympics gold medalist Neeraj Chopra will spearhead the 28-member Indian contingent.

Having secured his berth by winning the Diamond League in Zurich last year, Neeraj is all set to showcase his prowess once again on the global stage. He is seeking to clinch a gold medal in Budapest after winning a silver in the last edition in Oregon, USA. Neeraj is in good form, as seen from his recent Doha and Lausanne Diamond League triumphs.

Other Indians in the contingent who have shown their mettle on the global stage this season include long jumpers Jeswin Aldrin and Murali Sreeshankar, steeplechaser Avinash Sable, triple jumper Praveen Chithravel and hurdler Jyothi Yarraji.
