Neeraj Chopra Paris Olympics 2024: India’s javelin throw star Neeraj Chopra is poised to make a splash at the Paris 2024 Olympics, which kick off at the Stade de France on Tuesday. The reigning Olympic and world champion will compete in the men’s javelin throw, aiming to add another feather to his cap after his historic gold medal win at Tokyo 2020.
Chopra, who made history as the first Indian to medal in athletics at the Olympics, will be in action alongside a competitive field of 32 athletes, divided into two qualification groups. The qualification rounds will determine who advances to the final, based on a pre-approved entry standard of 84.00 meters. If fewer than 12 athletes reach this mark, the top-ranked competitors will be included in the final. If more than 12 surpass the standard, all qualifying athletes will move forward to the medal round.
