Athletics Federation of India Faces Injury and Qualification Challenges Ahead of Asian Games
The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) faces challenges ahead of the Asian Games due to athlete injuries and fitness concerns. Notably, javelin thrower Annu Rani, despite winning the Indian Athletics Final Series with a 57.50m throw, missed the qualifying mark of 57.62m and was excluded from the squad. Other athletes, including triple jumper Praveen Chithravel and high jumper Sarvesh Kushare, are also dealing with injuries. The selection committee is reviewing these cases and may name replacements if injured athletes are unavailable.
