Neeraj Chopra Gold: Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra has once again shown his magic. He has won gold medal in men’s javelin throw in Federation Cup. This is the first time in three years that Neeraj Chopra has participated in a domestic tournament. The 26-year-old superstar faced a bit of trouble initially. Due to this he was running in second place after three rounds. In the fourth round he took the lead with an effort of 82.27m. After this he did not throw the javelin in the final round, as silver medalist DP Manu threw the last throw. Asian Games silver medalist Kishore Jena finished fifth with a throw of 75.49m.
Stayed away from 90 meters again
Chopra last competed domestically in the same tournament on 17 March 2021, winning the gold medal with a throw of 87.80 metres. After this he won a historic gold in the Tokyo Olympics. Then became Diamond League Champion in 2022 and World Champion in 2023. He also retained the Asian Games gold medal in China. Chopra also won three stages of the Diamond League and bagged a silver medal at the 2022 World Championships. However, he is yet to touch the 90 meter mark. His personal best and national record is 89.94 m.
So stop throwing
After winning the gold, Neeraj Chopra said that I participated in Doha a few days ago. So, I decided to skip the last two throws. I will compete again in the Czech Republic in the next 10-12 days. It was good to compete in India after such a long time. Neeraj Chopra had a great performance at Diamond League 2024 held in Doha last week thanks to all the fans who came to support us today. Meanwhile, he finished second in the competition with a throw of 88.36 meters. Notably, both athletes Neeraj Chopra and Kishore Jena have already secured the Paris 2024 Olympic quota for India.
