World Athletics C'ships: Neeraj Chopra Qualifies For Men's Javelin Final With First-attempt 84.85m
World Athletics Championships: Two-time Olympic medallist and defending champion Neeraj Chopra qualified for the final of the men's Javelin throw event of the World Athletics Championships, achieving the required qualifying mark in his first throw of the qualifying round.
The qualifying mark was set at 84.50m, and Neeraj, on his return to the venue where he made history by winning the Olympic gold medal, comfortably hurled the javelin to a distance of 84.85m in his very first attempt in the Group A qualification to make it to the final.
This marked the fifth consecutive time Chopra needed just one attempt to qualify for the final. The previous four occasions when Chopra made it to the final in the first throw are the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the 2022 and 2023 World Championships, and the 2024 Paris Olympics.
