India’s Neeraj Chopra, DP Manu and Kishore Jena, along with Arshad Nadeem, Jakub Vadlejch and Julian Weber, will be competing in the javelin throw final at the World Athletics Championships.
India’s Neeraj Chopra, along with compatriots DP Manu and Kishore Jena will be competing in the Javelin Throw final at the ongoing World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary on Sunday.
Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem will be the main contender even as the likes of Czech Republic’s Jakub Vadlejch and Germany’s Julian Weber cannot be ignored.
Nadeem has beaten Chopra in the race of reaching 90m first but the Indian Olympic champion has been victorious in all the events featuring the duo, starting from the 2016 South Asian Games where the Pakistani had won a bronze.
Nadeem was third when Chopra won gold in the 2018 Asian Games. He was eighth in the 2018 Commonwealth Games where Chopra clinched a gold.
Nadeem was fifth in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 where Chopra won gold. Nadeem was again fifth in 2022 World Championships where Chopra bagged a silver. He also finished seventh in the 2017 Asian Championships where Chopra grabbed a gold.
Form and history would give Chopra the advantage but Nadeem cannot be written off.
