Paris Olympics: Neeraj Chopra Poised to Defend Javelin Gold Tonight

At the Paris Olympics, reigning Olympic and World Champion Javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra will aim to defend his title and make history once again tonight.

Indian Men’s Hockey team will face Spain in the Olympics bronze medal match this evening. Indian fans will also be keeping a close watch on the wrestling area where India’s lone male wrestler Aman Sehrawat will be getting onto the mat in the men’s 57 kg freestyle this afternoon.

Woman wrestler Anshu will also be in action in the women’s 57 kg freestyle. In an unfortunate event for India at the Paris Olympics yesterday, Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the 50kg freestyle wrestling for being overweight by a few grams, after she stormed into the final. Vinesh has filed an appeal in Court of Arbitration for Sport against the decision. She has asked for a joint Olympic silver to be given to her.

Indian Weightlifter S. Mirabai Chanu finished 4th in the Paris Olympics in the women’s 49kg final. 2020 Tokyo silver medallist Chanu, who is the world record holder for clean and jerk, was not able to pull off her Tokyo heroics yesterday.

She finished with a score of 199 kg after the conclusion of the two phases of the competition. Her personal best is 205 kg which she lifted in the 2020 Asian Championship.

India’s top distance runner Avinash Sable could not keep up the pace and finished 11th in the men’s 3000m steeplechase which was won by Soufiane El Bakkali of Morocco in a season’s best time of 8 minutes 06.05 seconds at the Paris Olympics yesterday.
