After two postponements and moving States, the third Indian Grand Prix will finally be held here on Saturday but in the absence of many of the big names, it is likely to be more of a testing ground for the second rung and beyond of Indian athletics than anything else.
The IGP 3, followed by IGP 4 here a couple of days later and the inter-State championships next month, is one of the last chances for athletes to qualify for the Commonwealth Games and the World Championships later this year. Barring the men’s triple jump, however, not many will have much hope.
