Javelin throw qualification group

Javelin Throw Qualification Group: Defending champions and India's biggest hope for a gold medal, Neeraj Chopra will be launching his campaign for the defence of his crown while the men's hockey team will take on Germany for a place in the final in highly anticipated clashes in Paris Olympics on Tuesday.

Neeraj, who made history for India by becoming the first Indian athlete to win a gold medal in the Olympics, has emerged as champion in the World Championship, Asian Games and the Diamond League finals since bagging the gold in javelin throw in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

On Tuesday, he will launch his much-anticipated campaign in Qualification Group B at 15:20 IST.
