Hangzhou Olympic Sports Complex:  As he walked into the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Complex stadium on the first day of the athletics competitions in the Asian Games, India's Olympic and World Champion javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra was greeted by a wet track.

After spending time there and talking with Indian athletes who have used the track and field area, Chopra hoped that the weather would be favourable on October 4, the day he will compete in the men's javelin throw at the 19th Asian Games.

But it seems he the 25-year-old Indian star will have to compete in wet conditions in Hangzhou as after a couple of days of dry weather, the conditions became overcast and there was a slight drizzle before the start of the athletics competitions on Tuesday.
