Neeraj Chopra Javelin LIVE – Chopra threw a stunning 86.69m with his first attempt followed by two fouls. The 24-year-old then opted out of his last three tries, with the first being enough to seal the gold medal.
If Chopra breaches the 90m mark, which he had said should come this year, he will become the 21st javelin thrower to do so.
“I am pleased with my performance. It was my first event of the season, so I am happy to have started the season on a high note. My performance here has boosted my confidence significantly,” Chopra had said after the Paavo Nurmi Games.
“Going forward, I am looking to work on my technique, throw, and overall performance. I am in a happy place at the moment and I just want to do well in the upcoming events.”
Chopra’s earlier national record was 88.07m which he had set in Patiala in March last year. He had won the Tokyo Olympics gold with a throw of 87.58m on August 7, 2021.
Chopra’s 89.30m effort will take him to fifth spot in the world season leaders’ list. After Kuortane, Chopra will feature in the Stockholm leg of the Diamond League on June 30. He had earlier trained in the USA and Turkey before shifting base to Finland last month.
