2022 World Athletics Championships: Day 7 LIVE - Neeraj Chopra, Rohit Yadav, Eldhose Paul qualify for final - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog
Men's Javelin Throw Startlist
This is how the Men's Javelin Throw Group B shapes up. Rohit Yadav up against Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem.
15.92m for Abdulla Aboobacker
An ever poorer start for Abdulla Aboobacker as he manages only 15.92m. Some work to do for the Indians, in the the triple jump arena.
16.12m for Eldhose Paul
Not the best of jumps, but Eldhose Paul atleast has a mark against his name. A modest 16.12m to start things off for the Indian. He is 14th overall - top 12 go through.
Praveen Chitravel fouls in his first
Not an ideal start for India in the triple jump arena as Praveen Chitravel fouls his first attempt.
Men's Triple Jump Group B
Abdulla Aboobacker, on the other hand, will be in action in Men's Triple Jump Group B.
Men's Triple Jump Group A
Two Indians - Praveen Chitravel and Eldhose Paul in action in Group A of the Men's Triple Jump Qualification.
Keshorn Walcott with a best of 78.87m
This could be over for the 2012 Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott. He is done with three attempts and he could come up with only 78.87m. This should surely be not enough considering he is 7th in Group A and we have the Group B athletes yet to start.
First big casualty of the Men's Javelin Throw and it has come in the form of an Olympic Champion, it seems.
No other automatic qualification so far
So far, it's just the two Olympic medallist who have secured themselves a berth in the World Championships final from Group A. Egypt's Ihab Abdelrahman came close with 83.41m, but fell 9cm short of direct entry to the final.
