India's star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra admitted he felt "scared" before every attempt despite winning the silver medal at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Battling cold weather and intense pressure, Chopra managed a season-best throw of 85.83 metres but finished behind Sri Lanka's Rumesh Pathirage. Reflecting on the event, Chopra said the challenging conditions tested his confidence throughout the competition. He also expressed happiness over sharing the podium with fellow Indian Yashvir Singh, who clinched bronze, making it a memorable double-podium finish for India in the men's javelin throw event.
