At the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Indian javelin star Neeraj Chopra began his title defense in the qualification round, aiming to become only the third male javelin thrower in history to win consecutive world titles. Chopra, who won gold at the 2023 Budapest edition with a throw of 88.17m, faced a strong field including Pakistan’s Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem, Germany’s Julian Weber, Grenada’s Anderson Peters, and other top athletes. Competing in Group A alongside Weber, Keshorn Walcott, Jakub Vadlejch, and Sachin Yadav, Chopra secured direct qualification to the finals with an 84.85m throw, making him the lone finalist at that stage. The event marked historic participation for India, with Sachin Yadav, Yashvir Singh, and Rohit Yadav joining Chopra, forming the largest Indian contingent in the competition. Fans eagerly anticipate Chopra’s showdown with Nadeem in the final round. Source: News18 #😍मेरा पसंदीदा खिलाड़ी #😍मेरा पसंदीदा खिलाड़ी
