World C'ships: Neeraj Chopra vs Nadeem in Tokyo showdown
September 18, 2025
|The Statesman Kolkata
Back at his happy hunting ground in Tokyo's National Stadium, where he was crowned Olympic champion in 2021, Neeraj Chopra made a perfect start to his men's javelin title defence at the World Athletics Championships by qualifying for the final with his very first throw.
The Indian ace needed to clear 84.50m for automatic qualification and did so with a smooth 84.85m effort on his opening attempt, extending his remarkable record of sealing qualification with a single throw for the fifth major event in a row.
Adding to India's cause, Sachin Yadav produced a personal milestone of his own, joining Chopra in Thursday's 12-man final. The 25-year-old hurled 83.67m in his third attempt to finish 10th overall, thus becoming the second Indian in the high-profile final.
