He will also become the country's first ever track and field champion at Worlds.

“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.”

Eldhose Paul's first attempt is of 16.37m. The first five participants in the final have all gone over the 17m mark. 

India's Eldhose Paul is part of the men's triple jump final. He had become the first ever Indian to make the World Championships final with an effort of 16.68m on Thursday

Like in the qualifiers, Neeraj Chopra will open the proceedings of the men's javelin event today. Rohit Yadav will make the third throw while the reigning champion will make the 9th throw.

Neeraj Chopra will not be the only Indian participant in the men's javelin event. Rohit Yadav, who registered an 80.42m throw in the qualifying round, finished sixth in Group B and 11th overall to make the 12-man final field.

The Indian 4x400m relay team - Muhammed Anas Yahiya, Muhammed Ajmal, Naganathan Pandi, and Rajesh Ramesh - finished sixth in Heat 1

At the end of the Group A and B qualification round, Neeraj finished second on the overall leaderboard after reigning world champion, Grenada's Anderson Peters, who finished atop in the list of qualifiers with an 89.91m throw
