The Athletics Federation of India has indefinitely postponed the inaugural National Throws Championships, the only senior level event slated this year amid rising number of COVID-19 cases in the country. AFI president Adille J Sumariwala said that the conditions are still not conducive to hold a competition due to COVID-19 pandemic situation. Since it was an open competition, there was a risk for athletes travelling from outside. Last month, the AFI had cancelled this year’s all national championships, barring the throws event, in view of the Covid-19 pandemic, virtually bringing the season to an end without any competition.
