On Saturday, Indian javelin superstar Neeraj Chopra clinched the inaugural NC Classic as he realised his dream of hosting and competing in a world class event in front of the home crowd and family members.

The 27-year-old double Olympic medallist emerged winner with his third round throw of 86.18m at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium watched by his parents.

This was his third straight title, having won in Paris Diamond League (June 20) and Golden Spike in Ostrava, Poland (June 24).
