Tough challenge awaits Chopra in his bid for another piece of history
Millennium Post Delhi|August 08, 2024
His stunning monster throw of 89.34m in the qualification round made quite a statement but a tough challenge awaits defending champion Neeraj Chopra as he seeks another piece of history in the Paris Olympics men’s javelin throw final round here on Thursday.
Tough challenge awaits Chopra in his bid for another piece of history

Just like he did at the same stage in the Tokyo Olympics three years back, Chopra needed just a few seconds to top the qualification round with his opening throw but the similarity ends there.

This time, the quality of the field is better than Tokyo with nine throwers crossing the automatic final round qualification mark of 84m in Paris as against six in Tokyo. Out of the nine, five made it to the final round with their first throws and thus will have a lot in their tanks for the medal round.

The 26-year-old Chopra knows it too well, having been in the global circuit for more than eight years.

“In the final, everyone has a different mindset and different situation. It will be a good competition. Whoever qualifies automatically is the best in preparation,” Neeraj told journalists after his ‘lightening’ appearance on the field.

He was in a hurry to go back to the Games Village and take rest to prepare for his best for the final round, as a lot is at stake on Thursday.
