Javelin Throw: Vesely finishes with a bronze. It means it’s either a silver
or a gold for India for sure. Jakub finishes with a foul.
MEANS GOLD MEDAL FOR NEERAJ CHOPRA WITH ONE ATTEMPT LEFT.
Medal Confirmed for India
Men’s Javelin Throw: Round six has started. Anxious moments for Chopra and
India. Chopra is still no.1. Three athletes are done with their sixth throw.
Top four left. A 75.72m for Weber. This means a medal is assured for India’s
Neeraj Chopra. Is still in first place.
Men’s Javelin Throw: Czech Republic’s Jakub Vadlejch moves to second
position with a throw of 86.67m in his fifth attempt. That is a season best
score for him. Vesely moves to third and Weber to fourth. Weber registers
85.15m in his fifth attempt. Still in fourth place.
Neeraj Chopra is up next. Another foul by Chopra. His last two throws have
been fouls. However, he still is in first position after five rounds with a
87.58m throw.
Men’s Javelin Throw: Round four currently underway. A failed attempt by
Neeraj Chopra in his fourth. Still in first place though with a throw of
87.58m. Czech Republic’s Vitezslav Vesely is second with 85.44m, Germany’s
Julian Weber in third place with 85.30m. Both have posted their season best
score.
Men’s Javelin Throw: Germany’s Johannes Vetter, favorite for the gold
medal, has been eliminated. Finishes 9th. Had the top seven throws for 2021.
What a shocker!
Javelin Throw: Chopra in his third attempt. A low 76.79m for him in round
three. Still first though. The 38-year-old Vitezslav Vesely registers a
score of 85.44m in his third attempt. Moves to second place. Season best
score for him. Another failed attempt by Vetter. Currently in 7th
place.
The last four out of 12 will be eliminated after the first three attempts.
Only the top 8 qualify to the medal rounds. Anxious moments for Vetter. Can
be eliminated if Katkavets manages better than 82.52.
The 23-year-old Neeraj Chopra is next.
RAISES HIS ARMS IN CELEBRATION EVEN BEFORE THE JAVELIN HAS LANDED.
BETTERS HIS FIRST THROW WITH A 87.58m.
Remains first in gold medal position. Weber manages a 77.90 in his second
attempt. Vetter is next and goes down clutching his ankle. Slipped. Failed
attempt for him.
Javelin Throw: Chopra in his first attempt. Manages an impressive 87.03m.
That is better than his qualifying score. Germany’s Julian Weber throws his
season best of 85.30m. Moves to second position. Republic of Moldova’s
Andrian Mardare is third at 81.16m. Johannes Vetter manages an 82.52m in his
first attempt. Moves to third. Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem just behind Vetter
with a 82.40m. In fourth position.
Czech Republic’s Jakub Vadlejch moves to third position now with a 83.98m
throw. Weber is 2nd and Vetter 4th. Chopra remains at first position at the
end of first round.
Javelin Throw: Neeraj Chopra’s men’s final begins. Chopra had qualified for
the final with a throw of 86.65m in his very first attempt in the
qualification round. No Indian in independent India has ever won a track
& field medal. Germany’s Johannes Vetter remains a favourite to win
gold.
Wrestling: Match begins. Bajrang in blue. No strapping on his right knee
today. Passivity charge for Daulet. He has 30 seconds to score a point or
Bajrang gets a point. And Bajrang goes 1-0 up. Daulet has Bajrang in a
headlock. He’s looking to turn the Indian. But Bajrang defends. Bajrang goes
for the single-leg takedown. Very proactive now. Send Daulet out of bounds.
Another point. Leads 2-0 at the end of the first period.
