The men’s javelin final at the World Athletics Championships concluded with several notable results.
Indian athlete Neeraj Chopra finished 8th, achieving a best throw of 84.03m. This performance marked the end of his consecutive 33-event streak of placing in the top three at major competitions, a run that excluded qualification rounds.
Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, who had faced injuries throughout the season, placed 10th with a throw of 82.75m. Keshorn Walcott, an Olympic gold medalist from 2012, did not secure a medal in this specific event.
Historically, this final was significant as it represented the first time in World Championships men’s javelin history that no European competitor finished among the top three.
