Crowned as the champion in Olympics, Neeraj Chopra came up with a stunning performance to qualify for the finals in men’s javelin throw in Paris Olympics. The young man threw the javelin to a record 89 meters and he is 26 years old. So at the first trial he set the new season’s best performance, not only exceeding the automatic qualification of 34 meters but also. This amazing effort put to rest doubts about his physical condition, especially with revelations that he had suffered an adductor injury.
Chopra showed his supremacy in the event as he qualified for the final with ease after topping the group B without much fuss The throw was his second-best throw in his career and he came close to equal or even better his personal best of 89. 94 meters of the distance achieved in 2022.
Kishore Jena Falls Short
Sadly, the other Indian contender out of the lot, Kishore Jena, was unable to secure his place in the final round. Unfortunately, his throwing ability was particularly weak in this competition; he achieved only 80 meters.
Fierce Competition Ahead
The last is set to be a dramatic finish with several numbers of the top athletes qualifying, this including Anderson Peters of Grenada, a throw of 88. 63 meters, and Pakistan with 86.59 meters by Arshad Nadeem.
Another gold medal is on the cards for India as Chopra has made the qualification for the event. Given the fact that the javelin star shows both form and determination, he should be considered to be a strong contender for the top spot.
