The two-day competition, an Olympic qualifying event, is scheduled to be held on June 19 and 20 and is part of the World Athletics continental tour series. “It would be a good opportunity for the top Indian athletes if they get a chance to compete in Kazakhstan. We have a good chance to qualify for the Olympics in the women’s 4x100m relay,” a national team coach said.
Last month, javelin throwers, including Neeraj Chopra, couldn’t travel to Europe for a training-cum-competition programme. The Athletics Federation of India had shortlisted six top women’s sprinters, including national champion S Dhanalakshmi and Dutee Chand, for the relay team.
