At just 12, Misti Karmakar’s days began before dawn. By 3.30 am, she was on her bike, pedalling 4 km through the silent streets of West Bengal’s Malda, a javelin in tow, to write her story in the morning sky. Raising an athlete daughter was a struggle for Sanjay Karmakar, a hawker at the Malda railway station. On a good day, he would earn Rs 500; just enough to feed the family and keep hope flickering. But when it came to Misti’s future, there would be no compromise. “She comes from a very modest background but is rich in talent,” says Misti’s coach Asit Pal. A former 400m runner, Pal spotted Misti during the pandemic lockdown and convinced Sanjay to let him coach his daughter free of cost. “And I made him a promise — to make Misti an ‘India’ athlete,” Pal says. “Like Neeraj Chopra.” On the face of it, this is a typical Indian sport story. But Misti, now 16, has emerged as one of the faces of a storm brewing in Indian …

Maiden 90m throw, new Coach, rare podium miss

India’s golden boy Neeraj Chopra had a topsy-turvy 2025, starting with his maiden 90m-plus throw and a tournament named in his honour, before missing the podium for the first time in seven years. The two-time Olympic medallist began his third four-year cycle with a major change, appointing veteran javelin thrower Jan Železný as his coach at the start of the year. The two worked efficiently on a new technique that reduced Chopra’s tendency to lean left at release and helped stabilise his stance. To test his new technique and throwing stance, Neeraj began his season earlier than usual, winning the Potch Invitational Meet in South Africa with a throw of 84.52m. Neeraj breaches the elusive 90m barrier After a rigorous pre-season under Jan Železný, Neeraj was ready for another Diamond League campaign, beginning with the Doha Diamond League in May. He announced his arrival for yet another big competitive year with a 90.23m throw in Doha, finishing second behind Germany’s Julian Weber. It was a moment long-awaited not only by Neeraj himself but by millions …
