The day has arrived at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow, where India's Golden Boy, Neeraj Chopra, will take centre stage in the men's javelin throw event. The 28-year-old hasn't had the best run of form of late, having also missed out on a spot on the podium at the Doha Diamond League. However, with the spotlight back on him, Neeraj will be keen to recreate his Gold Coast Games heroics that saw him win the gold medal in the event. He was not a part of the Birmingham Games four years ago, where Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem claimed the top podium spot.
Since Neeraj last won gold at the Commonwealth Games eight years ago, he has won two Olympic medals, two World Championship medals, and two Asian Games medals.
Challenging Neeraj for the top spot on the podium this time will be reigning Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem, Grenada's Anderson Peters, who came third at the Paris Olympic Games, and Sri Lanka's Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage. It was the Lankan who beat Neeraj at the Doha Diamond League last month to claim the gold medal.
