PTI, Aug 6, 2024, 3:45 PM IST

Paris: Defending champion Neeraj Chopra qualified for the men’s javelin throw final of the Olympic Games with a season’s best effort of 89.34m here on Tuesday.

Much like his performance in the Tokyo Olympics, the 26-year-old crossed the automatic qualifying mark of 84m in his opening throw itself.

The other Indian in fray, Kishore Jena, is unlikely to make the 12-man final after managing a best throw of 80.73m.

Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, who is the reigning Commonwealth Games champion, also qualified for the finals with a throw of 86.59m.
