India's golden boy Neeraj Chopra will play the final of the men's javelin throw competition at the World Athletics Championships after he booked his spot on Thursday (July 21). Another Indian will be in the final-12 and his name is Rohit Yadav. While Neeraj qualified directly, Rohit just made it to the final with a throw of 80.42m. Neeraj, on the other hand, threw the javelin to a distance of 88.39m in only the first attempt, to record his career's third-best throw. Neeraj is in terrific form, breaking his own national record twice in the last 3 events leading up to the World Championships. He was short of the elusive 90m mark by a matter of 0.6 cms at Stockholm Diamond League. In the final, he will be aiming for the 90m mark but more importantly at the gold medal.
Even if either of Neeraj or Rohit or both of them medal, they will become the second Indian to win a medal at World Athletics Championships. Till date, India's only medal has come in form of a bronze when Anju Bobby George clinched it in 2003.
One attempt is all it takes! _
