Neeraj Chopra Wins Gold In Kuortane Games With Throw Of 86.69m
Javelin ace Neeraj Chopra on Saturday won the gold medal at the Kuortane Games in Finland after registering a throw of 86.69m on his first attempt. He finished ahead of Trinidad and Tobago's Keshorn Walcott and world champion Anderson Peters of Grenada. Chopra, who recently set the new national record, started off strong with his 86.69m throw, which was good enough to pip his competitors. He made two foul throws and opted out of the last three throws. This was just his second competition since the Tokyo Olympics, where he became the first Indian to win a gold medal in athletics.
