The men's javelin event at the Commonwealth Games 2026 is shaping up to be more than the much-awaited Neeraj Chopra-Arshad Nadeem rivalry. Sri Lanka's Rumesh Pathirage, who threw 92.62m earlier this season, has emerged as a serious contender for the gold medal in Glasgow. Chopra returns fully fit after injury and will aim to regain top form, while defending Commonwealth champion Nadeem remains a major threat despite limited competition this year. India also has Rohit Yadav and Yash Vir Singh in the event, giving the country strong depth ahead of the qualification round on July 30. (PC: NDTV)
