Neeraj Chopra, the javelin star from India, began his defence of the Olympic title on Tuesday. At the ongoing Paris Olympics, Neeraj qualified for the final with an 89.34-meter throw. His throw was the best of the season and came very close to his personal best (89.94), which earned him a direct entry into the final. Neeraj will now attempt to win a second gold medal at the Olympics on Thursday during the men’s javelin throw final.
As Neeraj booked his spot in the final of the competition, Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant made a daring promise to supporters on social media. Pant stated that if Neeraj Chopra wins a gold medal tomorrow. Then the lucky winner who leaves the most likes and comments on his tweet will receive 100089 Rupees. After Pant’s hot tweet, the internet flooded with gossip. Some people think that his account may have been hacked. However, Pant confirmed this giveaway. Also, the top ten applicants for attention will receive airline tickets.
Fans responded to Pant’s statement in a similar way. Two fortunate supporters would receive Rs 50,000 if Neeraj were to win the gold, according to a spoof of famous Indian batter Virat Kohli. Rishabh has received a lot of praise in the comments section for his remarks supporting a fellow athlete. With his first throw, the 26-year-old topped the automatic qualifying limit of 84 meters to take first place in Group B.
It’s much like his performance in the qualifying round of the Tokyo Olympics. With a massive throw of 89.34 meters, Neeraj Chopra dominated the men’s javelin qualification at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. This remarkable accomplishment is his second-best career performance, after his record-breaking 89.94 meters in Tokyo. The reigning champion has had a lot of support as he gets ready for the crucial Olympic finals, especially from Indian cricket player Rishabh Pant.
It’s not the first time that Rishabh Pant has declared a prize in the event that Neeraj Chopra wins an Olympic gold medal in Paris. Recently, Mohawk Nahta, the CEO of Atlys, said he would If Neeraj Chopra wins an Olympic gold medal, he will personally give a free visa to every person.
Neeraj Chopra Leads Overall
The two-time world champion Anderson Peters (88.63m) of Grenada finished second in Group B and second overall. Chopra, the current world champion, won the qualification round, which was made up of Groups A and B. Third overall was German thrower Julian Weber (87.76), who won Group A. Arshad Nadeem (Pakistan), the current Commonwealth Games champion, also qualified for the finals with a throw of 86.59 meters in Group B.
Chopra’s incredible performance, the second best of his career, allayed worries about his fitness after he disclosed that he had been dealing with an adductor strain in the lead-up to the Games. His own record still stands at 89.94 meters, set in 2022. He made a LinkedIn post about it. Travellers can get their visas facilitated and provided by Atlys.
Neeraj Chopra therefore undoubtedly possesses all the means to fulfil his promise! Czech Jakub Vadlejch, the silver medalist from the Tokyo Olympics was the only athlete to defeat Chopra this year in the Doha Diamond League. But now he’s placed seventh overall with an 85.63-meter throw in the first round. So, Chopra’s victory appears to be certain.
