World Athletics Championships 2022: Neeraj Chopra's date with history
While a nation was asleep, the 24-year-old man from Panipat took to the field in Eugene (USA) to book his place in the finals of the men’s javelin throw competition. Neeraj threw his spear to an impressive distance of 88.39m in his very first attempt during the qualification stage to sail into the final with consummate ease. The Indian is poised to finish among the medallists on early Sunday morning (IST) when the top-12 finalists line up at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field.
