There are quite a few slots to be filled and there is not much time left. So far, 27 Indian athletes from four disciplines have made the cut for the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games (July 28 to August 8) while around 11 have made the grade for the Oregon World championships (June 15 to 24).
The five-day SNJ-61st National Inter-State athletics championships beginning here on Friday, will provide the other remaining athletes one last chance to book their tickets to the two events and the qualified ones to show they are a cut above the rest.
All the major Indian stars barring Neeraj Chopra, Seema Punia and Avinash Sable will be participating in the meet.
