New Delhi: After clinching the gold medal in Tokyo 2020, India’s ‘golden boy’ is all set to defend his gold medal from the Tokyo Olympics 2020 as he looks to become the first Indian Olympian in individual sports to win back-to-back gold medals. Neeraj started his qualification throw in style as he threw 89.34m in his first throw and thereby surpassed the qualification mark of 84m.
Starting list of athletes in the Men’s Javelin Throw finals

With the Paris Olympics 2020 reaching the business end of the tournament, Neeraj’s tournament performance becomes even more pertinent as the entire nation looks towards that glimmering gold medal. Chopra’s fellow countryman and compatriot Kishore Jena failed to qualify for the finals as he slumped to a 9th-place finish with a throw of 80.73m.
The Indian Olympic contingent has gone through a lot in the Paris Olympics 2024 from wrestlers getting disqualified to heartbreaking finishes for Indian Olympic athletes (4th place finish). Naturally, Neeraj’s gold will ensure that a bandage is wrapped around all those bleeding wounds.
