Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra entered the World Athletics Championships finals on Friday after hitting 88.77m in the men’s Javelin Throw event. With the seat secured in the finals, Neeraj Chopra has also qualified for the Paris Olympics 2024. Neeraj Chopra unleashed his finest performance of the season and the fourth-best of his career.
Neeraj Chopra’s remarkable throw also guaranteed him a direct berth in the 2024 Paris Olympics, which mandates a minimum distance of 85.50m for qualification. But, meeting the entry standards of the Olympics is just one part of the selection process, the final decision on whether an athlete will secure a spot in the NOC team for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games rests with the National Olympic Committee.
The star of the Tokyo Olympics, Neeraj Chopra missed the gold in the last edition of the World Athletics Championships and came second behind Anderson Peters who displayed subpar performance during the qualification A round this year as he threw 78.49m after three attempts.
India’s other rising star in Javelin Throw DP Manu made his best throw at a distance of 81.31 meters finishing third behind Julian Webber. DP Manu also has a great chance of qualifying for the World Athletics Championships finals unless 9 other athletes throw better than him during qualification B.
