Neeraj Chopra Javelin Throw Final Highlights, World Athletics Championship 2022: Chopra bags silver, Rohit finishes 10th

Neeraj Chopra Javelin Throw Final Highlights, World Athletics Championship 2022: Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra bags the silver medal while Rohit Yadav finishes 10th.

Neeraj Chopra Javelin Throw Final Highlights, World Athletics Championship 2022: Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra bags a historic silver medal with his massive fourth-attempt throw of 88.13m. Neeraj is India's first ever track and field athlete to take the silver medal in the World Championships, and second to bag a podium-finish after the legendary long jumper Anju Bobby George had finished third in the Paris Worlds in 2003. He kicked off the proceedings on a disappointing note as he registered a foul throw before bettering his second attempt of 82.39m with a 86.37m throw. His 88.13m throw in his fourth attempt however put him in contention for the silver medal while his last two attempts were foul throws. Rohit Yadav, the other Indian in the event, made attempts of 78.72m, 78.05m and 77.95m to finish 10th in the event. Defending champion Anderson Peters of Grenada reigned supreme after making three 90m+ attempts in the final, while Olympic silver medallist Jakub Vadlejch finished third

  World Athletics Championship 2022 Live: Neeraj Chopra on his attempt in the qualifiers

  “It was a good start. I'll give my 100% in the final. We'll see. Every day is different. I'll just give my best. We don't know who can throw far on any given day. There is a little bit of zigzag in my run-up. I shook a little bit, but it was a good throw. There are so many throwers in good shape now. Five-six throwers have thrown PBs this year. They are all in excellent shape.”
