Neeraj Chopra's Silesia Diamond League Appearance Uncertain After Surgery
Imagine two very strong people who throw a long stick, called a javelin, really far.
These people, Neeraj Chopra from India and Arshad Nadeem from Pakistan, were supposed to compete soon.
However, Neeraj had to get surgery on his leg.
This means he might not be able to throw his javelin at the competition, which would have been a great show.
This competition was expected to be the first time they met since the Olympics last year, where Arshad won the gold medal by throwing a record distance.
Neeraj Chopra's participation in the Silesia Diamond League is uncertain.
Chopra underwent calf muscle surgery in the UK.
The surgery was a right calf interventional procedure.
Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan was expected to compete.
The Silesia Diamond League was to be a face-off between Chopra and Nadeem.
