World Athletics C’ship: Neeraj, Sachin Storm Into Final; Arshad Nadeem Too Makes Cut (Ld)
Olympic Champion Arshad Nadeem: The defending champion Neeraj Chopra made it look effortless once again at the World Athletics Championships, needing just one throw to book his place in the men’s javelin throw final here on Wednesday, sending the spear to 84.85m — comfortably past the automatic qualifying mark of 84.50m.
Alongside him, compatriot Sachin Yadav produced his career-best performance on the big stage to also secure a spot, giving India two finalists in one of the marquee events of the championships.
This was the fifth straight occasion at a global meet where he sealed qualification with his very first attempt, having done so at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, the 2022 and 2023 World Championships, and the Paris Olympics last year.
