Live streaming details of Neeraj Chopra's men's javelin throw qualifying rounds at World Athletics Championships: When, where and how to watch on TV and online.
Neeraj Chopra will begin his quest for the elusive World Championships gold on Friday. The Olympic champion will take part in the qualification round of the men's javelin throw event in Budapest, Hungary. 37 javelin throwers have been divided into two groups - A and B. Neeraj is slotted in Group A. He will compete in the qualifiers for a place in the 12-man final, scheduled on Sunday. The automatic qualifying mark is 83.00m. Apart from Neeraj, two other Indians - Manu DP and Kishore Jena - will take part in the men's javelin throw qualification round. Manu is in Group A with Neeraj while Jena is in Group B.
Neeraj, who has a personal best of 89.94m, is expected to breeze into the final. The Tokyo Olympic gold medallist will, however, face tough competition from the likes of reigning world champion Anderson Peters, London 2012 Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott of Trinidad and Tobago and world No. 2 Julian Weber from Germany. Commonwealth Games gold medalist, Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem will also compete in the event.
Neeraj, who is the No.1-ranked javelin thrower at the moment, has every top prize apart from a World Championship gold. He won an Olympic gold in Tokyo. He is an Asian Games and Commonwealth Games gold medalist and is also a Diamond League champion. The 25-year-old came very close to winning the World Championship last year in Oregon but came second to Anderson Peters.
That silver medal of Neeraj Chopra, however, was India's first in the World Championships in nearly two decades after Anju Boby George's bronze in the women's long jump in 2003.
