India’s Neeraj Chopra and Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem will clash for the first time since their epic Paris Olympics javelin duel at the Silesia Diamond League in Poland on August 16. Nadeem had stunned Chopra with a record-breaking 92.97m throw to clinch gold, while Chopra settled for silver with 89.45m. This rematch follows Chopra’s historic 90.23m throw in Doha, making him the 26th athlete to cross the 90m mark. Originally set to meet at the NC Classic in Bengaluru, tensions after the Pahalgam terror attack led to Nadeem’s withdrawal. With both nations celebrating Independence Day just prior, this Indo-Pak showdown promises high drama and fierce competition. (PC: Britannica & Olympics)
