Neeraj Chopra At Asian Games Live Updates: India Star's Javelin Throw Event Set To Start Soon

Asian Games 2023 Live Updates: India's star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra will look to defend his Asian Games title when he takes the field at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium on Wednesday. With a throw of 88.06 m, Neeraj made a mark at the Asian Games 2018 in Jakarta, giving signs of a fine future.

Now five years later, Neeraj has transformed into a living legend at 25 years of age, having captured a Olympic gold medal in Tokyo, with the best throw of 87.58 m. In Hangzhou, it could just be a cakewalk for India's greatest athlete as his nearest competitor and world silver medallist Arshad Nadeem has pulled out of the Games due to a chronic knee injury which has troubled him for some time now.
