CWG 2026: Neeraj Chopra Set For Late-night Arrival In Glasgow
The athlete who won the 2018 Commonwealth Games is returning to the event after having been unable to take part in the 2022 Birmingham Games because of an injury and will be trying to regain the men's javelin title, which is currently held by Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan, the reigning Olympic and Commonwealth Games champion.
After having a mixed year in 2025, Neeraj heads to Glasgow. Although he had just managed to reach the highly-desired 90 metre mark for the first time in his career, he was disheartened at the World Athletics Championships, where he ended up in eighth position. He then returned to competition at the Doha Diamond League earlier this year, where his best throw of 85.69 metres secured him fourth place, a promising result that indicated he was slowly coming back to his top form.
