The qualification doors for next month’s World Championships in the USA close on Sunday and there is a big rush to Almaty to achieve the magical timings and marks from the two-day 31st Qosanov athletics meet which begins on Saturday.
More than 30 Indians, perhaps the biggest bunch to travel for an international meet, will be in action and apart from making the cut for the Worlds (in Oregon, July 15-24), some like shot putter Tajinderpal Singh Toor and discus thrower Navjeet Kaur will also be looking to confirm their Commonwealth Games (Birmingham, July 30-Aug. 7) berths.
