Neeraj Chopra admitted he was "scared" during every attempt despite winning silver in the men's javelin throw at the Commonwealth Games 2026, citing lingering injury concerns after returning from a lengthy layoff. The Olympic champion produced a season-best 85.83m to secure his first major medal in nearly a year, while Sri Lanka's Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage claimed gold with 89.75m. Fellow Indian Yash Vir Singh earned bronze with a personal-best 85.41m. Chopra said Glasgow's cold conditions affected performances and limited him to one quality throw. While pleased with his comeback, the 28-year-old stressed he is still rebuilding confidence, improving gradually, and targeting stronger performances in upcoming competitions. (PC: Getty Images)
