World Athletics Continental Gold Tour: Olympic and World Champion Neeraj Chopra will be in action at the World Athletics Continental Gold Tour 2024--Paavo Nurmi Games, scheduled to be held at the Paavo Nurmi Stadium, Turku, Finland on June 18.

Chopra has recently given a miss to the Ostrava Golden Spike meet in the Czech Republic on May 28 as a precautionary measure after suffering a niggle. The athlete from Haryana said he felt “something” on his adductor muscles during a recent training session and decided to skip the event to avoid further aggravating the problem in an Olympic year.

Paavo Nurmi Games on Tuesday, Chopra, the current Asian Games gold medalist and Diamond League Finals winner, will be challenged by Max Dehning of Germany, the youngest member of the coveted 90m club and also the season leader.
