Commonwealth Games 2026, Men's Javelin Throw Final: Neeraj Chopra would look to replicate his 2018 Games gold medal but faces stiff competition in Glasgow.
The day has arrived when India's 'Golden Boy' Neeraj Chopra looks to end his eight-year wait for a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games. Neeraj, who missed the 2024 Games in Birmingham, qualified for the final of the Glasgow Games with a throw of 79.61 metres, securing fifth spot in the overall standings, ahead of defending champion Arshad Nadeem, who finished seventh. However, four other athletes finished ahead of Neeraj, though none of them managed to hit the automatic qualification mark of 84 metres in the event.
As Neeraj gears up for the final, he faces stiff competition, not just from Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem but also from the likes of Sri Lanka's Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage, Grenada's Anderson Peters, South Africa's Douw Smit, and England's Ben East, who were the only throwers to breach the 80-metre mark in Thursday's qualifier
