Neeraj Chopra, the reigning Olympic and world champion javelin thrower, faces a tough challenge in defending his title at the Paris Olympics. He enters the final with the best qualifying throw but knows the competition will be fierce, with several athletes seeking revenge or their first Olympic gold.
India’s Olympic and world javelin champion Neeraj Chopra will kickstart his season at the Doha Diamond League 2024, scheduled for Friday. He will be joined by compatriot Kishore Jena, marking his Diamond League debut. Chopra, the first Indian to win a Diamond League title, aims to cross the 90m mark in this competition. Both athletes, who secured Olympic quotas, last competed at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, where Chopra clinched gold and Jena won silver.
