Neeraj Ahead of Everyone Else
Neeraj Chopra’s throw of 89.34 meters in the qualification round placed him at the top position. The remaining 11 athletes who made it to the finals could not surpass Neeraj’s distance. If Neeraj maintains his form in the finals, he is well-positioned to secure the gold medal.

Neeraj Eyes Second Gold
Considering the other athletes’ performances, Neeraj stands out. The season’s best throw for Czech Republic’s Jakub Vadlejch is 88.65 meters, and for Anderson Peters, it’s 88.63 meters. Only Arshad Nadeem from Pakistan reached 86.59 meters, while the rest of the athletes couldn’t even cross the 86-meter mark. Neeraj’s dominance is evident, and after his triumph at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, he is now on the brink of winning another gold medal at the Paris Olympics 2024.
