Paavo Nurmi Games 2022 LIVE - Neeraj Chopra sets National Record - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog

Thank you for joining!

That's all we have from Neeraj Chopra's return to action at Paavo Nurmi Games 2022. What a return it was for the Olympic Champion and this is certainly a throw India would remember for a long time.

He is also slowly inching towards that elusive 90m and I don't think it will be long before we see him break that barrier down. Thank you for tuning in to our coverage. See you next time!

FINAL RESULTS

Silver it is for Neeraj!

That's it then. Curtains down on Men's Javelin Throw and silver it is for Neeraj Chopra, thanks to his National Record attempt of 89.30m. Oliver Helander takes gold with 89.83m while Anderson Peters takes bronze with 86.60m.

Chopra ends with 85.85m

It is his final throw and Neeraj sends it 85.85m. He did not even look at the javelin and had his arms aloft looking at the crowd right after the throw. A more than good return this for the Olympic Champion.

FOUL, NEERAJ!

The series of fouls continue for Neeraj Chopra. Third straight throw with a X after that National Record. He is just taking it easy at the moment.
