Neeraj Chopra Men’s Javelin Throw LIVE Streaming: Neeraj Chopra gets his 2024 Paris Olympics campaign underway in the men’s javelin throw event, which starts at the Stade de France on Tuesday. The Indian star javelin thrower is the reigning Olympic and world champion afteman in Olympics history to defend his title and the first Indian to win two gold medals in an individual event in the Olympics.
Neeraj has had a difficult buil-up to the 33rd Summer Games as he has competed in just three events this year but the 26-year-old world champion is back in full flow in a season where none of his global competitors have done exceptionally well.
After finishing second in the Doha Diamond League in May with a throw of 88.36m, which is his season’s best, Chopra withdrew from Ostrava Golden Spike on May 28 as a precautionary measure after he felt “something” in his adductor (group of muscles located on inner thighs). Chopra, who has a personal best of 89.94m, made a strong comeback by winning gold at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Finland on June 18 with a throw of 85.97m. He later opted out of the Paris Diamond League on July 7, insisting that the event was never a part of his competition calendar this year.
Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Czech thrower Jakub Vadlejch, who beat Chopra in the Doha Diamond League, Germany’s Julian Weber and former world champion Anderson Peters will once again be the Indian superstar’s main rivals.
The other Indian in fray in men’s javelin is Kishore Jena, who booked an automatic berth with his 87.54m throw in the Asian Games last year, but has struggled to cross the 80m mark after that.
