Neeraj Chopra will be in action in the men’s javelin throw final at the Paris Olympics 2024 on Thursday, trying to defend his Olympic title.
The 26-year-old had landed the javelin at a distance of 87.58m at the Tokyo Olympics to become the first Indian to medal in a track and field event at the Summer Games.
On Tuesday, Neeraj made a qualification throw of 89.34m in Paris, much higher than the automatic mark of 84.00m, to advance to the final and raised hopes of securing back-to-back first-place finishes at the Olympics.
