Olympics X handle declares August 6 2024 as Neeraj Chopra Day after his entry to men’s javelin finals with his season best 89.34m throw.
The official Olympic X (formerly Twitter) account referred to August 6, 2024, as “Neeraj Chopra” day because the golden kid of Indian sports got off to a spectacular start at the Paris Olympics. With a season-best throw of 89.34 meters on Tuesday, Neeraj easily qualified for the men’s javelin. Surprisingly, it only took a single attempt for the reigning champion and the sole medallist from independent India to ensure automatic qualification.
In Qualification B, Neeraj was the first to go, and he hurled his first javelin way beyond the automatic qualification mark of 85m to secure his spot in the final.
“Happy Neeraj Chopra day, to all those who celebrate,” wrote the Olympics X handle minutes before Neeraj’s qualification round began. “The reigning champ is back in Olympic action for today’s Men’s Javelin qualifiers, could he be adding another medal to his collection soon?” they added in reply.
