Sri Lanka National Athletics Meet: India's Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra has come out in support of fellow javelin thrower Kishore Kumar Jena, who is likely to miss the World Athletics Championship to be held in Budapest, Hungary, from August 19-27, because the embassy of Hungary in India has cancelled his visa.

Chopra has urged the authorities to find a solution to the problem as the World Championship is one of the biggest moments of an athlete's career.
