On the other hand, Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem has also qualified for the finals with an 86.59m throw. 

Neeraj Chopra in Javelin throw at the Paris 2024 Olympics: India’s Neeraj Chopra has done it yet again as he entered the finals of the Javelin throw at the Paris 2024 Olympics on Tuesday with a monstrous 94.34 meter hit in the qualification round. Although India's Kishore Jena, who hit the mark of 80.73 meters, couldn't qualify for the finals, Neeraj Chopra left everybody behind in both groups. 

The Indian javelin throw ace is the reigning Olympic and world champion in the event. At Tokyo 2020, the 26-year-old won the gold medal in men’s javelin throw and became the first Indian to ever medal in an athletics event at the Olympics.

Neeraj Chopra came into the Paris 2024 Olympics having won the Federation Cup back home in India in May and the Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku in June. He was placed second at the Doha Diamond League, his first outing of 2024, with a season’s best of 88.36m.

Indian javelin star, who holds the national record of 89.94m, has improved his Olympic numbers, from 89.30m in the Tokyo Olympics to 89.34m in qualification rounds of the Paris Olympics 2024. Neeraj has the habit of peaking on the big stage, just like he did at Tokyo 2020 and the 2023 World Championships in Budapest.

Czechia’s Jakub Vadlejch, the Tokyo 2020 silver medallist, was considered the biggest threat to Neeraj’s title defense. However, Jakub only hit the mark of 85.63m in the qualification round. 

On the other hand, Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem has also qualified for the finals with an 86.59m throw.
