Eugene: Javelin throwers Ashish Yadav and T Dharanidharan along with discus thrower Amanat Kamboj qualified for the final rounds in a decent opening day performance by the Indians at the World Athletics U20 Championships here. Dharanidharan made it to the final round, taking the 12th and the last spot overall after finishing fifth in Group B qualification round with a throw of 68.07m. Indian superstar Neeraj Chopra is the current world record holder in the event with his 86.48m throw in the 2016 edition of the championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland. In women’s discus throw, Amanat produced a season’s best throw of 52.58m to finish sixth in Group A qualification round and take the 12th and last available spot to sneak into the finals. In the 2022 edition of the biennial championships, India had claimed a historic silver medal in the mixed 4x400m relay with an Asian U20 record time of 3:17.76sec, which is still the second best time in the world U20 records.
