Neeraj Chopra QUALIFIESSSS!

One throw is all it took for Neeraj Chopra in the World Championships as well. The Olympic Champion is through to the final of the World Championships with his first throw - a massive 88.39m. 

See you in the final, my boy!

Neeraj Chopra in the houseeeee!

Brace yourselves, Neeraj Chopra is out on the Hayward Field in Eugene!

Throw 83.5m to qualify

The equation is pretty simple for both Neeraj Chopra and Rohit Yadav - throw 83.50m and make it through to the final. While the former is used to it, it will take Rohit Yadav a pretty big improvement on his Personal Best to go through.

Neeraj had qualified for the Tokyo Olympics final with a single throw. Can he repeat that heroics in Eugene today?

Men's Javelin Throw Group A Startlist

Neeraj Chopra will be the first athlete to throw the men's javelin in this edition of World Championships. He is pitted against Jakub Vadlejch - the Czech Republican who finished second to him in Tokyo and big names like Keshorn Walcott, Andreas Hoffman among others.

Neeraj Chopra's second World Championships

This will be Neeraj Chopra's second World Championships, having made his debut in the 2017 edition as a 20-year-old. He had then failed to qualify for the final as Davinder Kang hogged the limelight, becoming the first Indian javelin thrower to reach World Championships final.

Neeraj then missed the 2019 edition due to an injury.
