Neeraj Chopra, the reigning Olympic champion, qualified for the javelin final at the Paris Olympics with a season-best throw of 89.34m. His single, impressive attempt secured his spot in the final, surpassing his previous season's best and topping Qualification Group B. Chopra’s throw was the second-best of his career, just shy of his personal best. Meanwhile, Kishore Jena missed the final, finishing 9th in Group B with 80.73m. The final will be held on August 8, where Chopra will vie for gold against strong competitors like Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem.
