The National Open Athletics Championships 2022, India’s last senior domestic competition of the season, will be held at the Kanteerava Stadium, Bangalore from Saturday.

Over 800 participants from across the country will compete in 47 medal events at the five-day meet. The championships conclude on October 19. Watch live streaming!

Asian Games silver medallist Hima Das will be one of the favourites to claim podium finishes in the women’s 100m, 200m, and 400m races in the absence of Dutee Chand.

However, Hima Das will have her task cut out with youngster Jyothi Yarraji listed in the women’s 100m and Archana Suseendran in the women’s 200m. Both Jyothi Yarraji and Archana Suseendran pipped Hima Das for gold at the National Games 2022 in the 100m and 200m races, respectively. Jyothi Yarraji will also compete in women’s 100m hurdles.

In men’s short sprints, national record holder Amlan Borgohain will be in action in the 100m and 200m races.

Asian Games gold medallist shot putter Tajinderpal Singh Toor will enter the national championships high on confidence after winning gold at the recently-concluded National Games.

While Tokyo 2020 javelin throw champion Neeraj Chopra will not compete at the Bangalore meet, India’s ace women’s javelin thrower Annu Rani, a Commonwealth Games silver medallist, is on the entry list.

The likes of long jumpers Murali Sreeshankar, Jeswin Aldrin and Muhammed Anees Yahiya will not compete at the national championships. Commonwealth Games 2022 gold medallist triple jumper Eldhose Paul and silver medallist Abdulla Aboobacker have also decided to skip the meet.
