Three Indian athletes qualify for World Athletics U20 finals

The World Athletics U20 Championships is a big sports event where the best young athletes under 20 years old compete.

India sent a team of young athletes to this event.

On the first day, three of them did very well.

Ashish Yadav and T Dharanidharan throw the javelin, a long spear, and both made it to the final round.

Ashish threw it almost 70 meters, which is very far.

Amanat Kamboj throws the discus, a heavy round plate, and also reached the final with her best throw of the season.

Runner Mogali Venkatram also moved one step closer to a medal in the 800 meter race.

The 4x400 meter mixed relay team did not make it past the first round.

The javelin final will happen on Friday.
