CWG 2026: ‘Tough Conditions, But Happy That All 3 Indians Are In Final,’ Says Neeraj Chopra
Neeraj Chopra: After booking his place in the Men’s Javelin Throw final at the Commonwealth Games 2026 with a best effort of 79 metres, India’s Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra admitted the cold and swirling winds made the competition challenging but expressed satisfaction with the outcome, while also looking ahead to what he expects will be a high-quality final featuring many of the world's leading throwers.
Having done enough to secure qualification, Chopra said his primary objective had always been to progress to the medal round rather than chase a massive throw.
“It was really cold and windy, but the throw was okay, the 79m throw. The goal was to go in the final and give my best in the final, so I'm happy with the throw,” he said after the qualifying round where he finished fifth.
