Neeraj Chopra amazed everyone with his stunning 86.65-meter throw in the qualifying rounds. The brilliant throw helped him finish in the top position of the 12 athletes who qualified for the final. The Indian is now all set to repeat his exploits on the biggest stage of them all. He is just one big throw away from living his dream of winning gold for India.
Men's Javelin throw final order
Chopra will go in second in the stacked competition of throwers. Of the 12 finalists, Neeraj's seasonal best of 88.07 meters ranks second behind Johannes Vetter's 96.29-meter throw.
Can Neeraj Chopra win the Olympic medal?
Neeraj Chopra came into the Olympics hoping to end India's wait for a medal in athletics. The athlete has certainly lived up to expectations so far after he became the first Indian to top the qualifying round in field events. However, there's still a lot to do for Neeraj.
The Indian needs another big performance in the finals to seal a podium finish. His rival Johannes Vetter has been on a roll this year. The German's ability to easily throw at a distance of above 90 meters makes him one of the top contenders for gold at the Olympics.
Chopra's personal best of 88.07 meters came at the Indian Grand Prix, earlier this year. A similar throw would have won him Olympic gold in Rio. However, Chopra will have to bring his best game for the final. He will have to throw around his personal best or maybe even better it, if he wants to be crowned as the Tokyo Olympic champion
