The international sports fest at rehlingen Germany on monday .......

 

The Indian Javelin players who have moved to Poland to practice were in action

 

Neeraj Chopra had a best effort of 79.51  to finish 5th ....... still quite bit to go to his personal best of 82.23 and to the Olympic quota of 83 

 

Annu Rani had a mediocre effort of 54.72 and Suman Devi 52.51 against the Olympic quota distance of 62 ..................

 

 

We are seeing our athletes based  in three locations .................US - Primarily the Discus and hurdlers ..................  the middle distance and javelin throwers are in Europe and the short distance sprinters  in Asia competing this week .....Most of them have been global coaches and good facilties  ..............hopefully we should  have more athletic quotas ...........
