Neeraj Chopra registers 84.64 in his fourth attempt. Well short of Arshad Nadeem’s fourth attempt, which measures 87.15m. Nadeem certainly is breathing down Chopra’s neck at the moment!
What matters now however, is the fact that Chopra is still on top thanks to his 88.17m effort in his second effort, with Nadeem currently 2nd. Can the Haryanvi hold on to the lead?

India smash Asian record...medal next?
Not only did the quartet of Muhammed Anas Yahiya, Amoj Jacob, Muhammed Ajmal Variyathodi and Rajesh Ramesh give heavyweights USA a scare during the men's 4x400m relay qualifying round, with the Indians qualifying for a maiden final with a second-place finish, but they ended up smashing the Asian record that was previously held by Japan with a timing of 2 minute 59.05 seconds!
Can they go a step further and win a maiden medal? Time will tell

Can Manu and Kishore join Chopra on javelin podium?
While Neeraj Chopra's season-best effort of 88.77 metres in the qualifying round of the men's javelin throw event hogged the limelight, fellow Indians DP Manu and Kishore Jena too managed to enter the finals — both breaching the 80-metre mark.
Though there will be intense competition in the final, especially with Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem going past the 86-metre mark in qualfiying, there is a possiblity of the Indians sweeping the podium later tonight. Difficult, but not entirely impossible.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the final day of 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, with India in contention for a medal in as many as three events.
Indians will be in contention in three different finals on the ninth day of the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary. Highlight of the candidates is Neeraj Chopra in the javelin throw event.
Neeraj Chopra, who won silver at the last World Athletics Championships, sent his javelin a distance of 88.77m in the first, and only, attempt in the qualification round to qualify for the final and the 2024 Paris Olympics. It was his season’s best effort and fourth best throw of his career.
Chopra has won gold medals in the Olympics (Tokyo in 2021), Asian Games (2018) and Commonwealth Games (2018), besides becoming the Diamond League champion last year. What’s missing is the World Championships gold and he’d be out to vie for it on Sunday.
DP Manu (81.31m) and Kishore Jena (80.55m) have also made the cut and qualified for the men’s javelin throw final.
Late at night, on Monday morning, Parul Chaudhary will participate in the women’s 3000m steeplechase final.
Parul is only the second Indian female athlete to progress to the final of a track event at a World Athletics Championships. She had finished fifth during the heats, clocking a personal best of 9 minutes 24.29 seconds.
In the penultimate event of this year’s World Athletics Championships, quartet of Muhammed Anas Yahiya, Amoj Jacob, Muhammed Ajmal Variyathodi and Rajesh Ramesh will take the track in the 4x400m relay event.
They had shattered the Asian record during the qualifying round with a time of 2 minute 59.05 seconds. They finished second in the heats behind USA (2:58.47). Previous Asian record (2:59.51) belonged to Japan with the previous national record set at 3:00.25 in 2021.
