The Story in Brief
Two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra became co-owner of the UBS Athletics Kids Cup on Friday, NDTV Sports reports. The javelin thrower had served as the programme's ambassador for the past two seasons.
The UBS Athletics Kids Cup is a school-level athletics competition designed to identify and nurture young talent. Chopra, who won gold at Tokyo 2020 and silver at Paris 2024, will now co-own the initiative, deepening his involvement in grassroots sports development.
The Indian Opinion
Neeraj Chopra's co-ownership of the UBS Athletics Kids Cup should not be seen as a mere ceremonial title. He has been the programme's ambassador for two seasons, showing genuine commitment. The real test will be whether the competition expands beyond metro schools to reach rural areas, where India's next Olympic talent often trains without facilities. Will the new co-owner ensure that the pipeline reaches those districts?
