World Athletics C'ships: Chopra begins title defence with qualifying round
-
Indian javelin superstar Neeraj Chopra will begin his World Championships title defence with the qualification round here on Wednesday, taking on a blockbuster field that also features Olympics gold-winning Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan and Diamond League champion Julian Weber of Germany.
Chopra will aim to become the third male javelin thrower in history to defend the World Championships gold he had won in 2023 edition in Budapest.
Czech legend Jan Zelezny (1993, 1995), who is now Chopra's coach, and Anderson Peters (2019, 2022) of Grenada are the other two who have won the world championships crown on two consecutive occasions.
Chopra is set to face Nadeem for the first time after the 2024 Paris Olympics, giving him a chance to avenge his second-place finish in the French capital. Nadeem had won gold in Paris with a monster throw of 92.97m while Chopra had a best of 89.45m that night.
