Maybe Kishor Will Get To 90m Before Me: Neeraj Chopra

By IANS News April 11, 2024 • 18:38 PM View: 332

Kishore Kumar Jena: Tokyo Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra remarked that while he's often questioned about reaching the 90m throw, he suggested that maybe his compatriot Kishor Jena would achieve the mark before him.

Jena, a rising javelin throw star, won silver with his personal best throw of 87.54m at the Asian Games last year, finishing behind Neeraj who reclaimed the gold. For the first time in the history of the Asian Games, Chopra and Kishore Kumar Jena made it a javelin one-two in Hangzhou 2023.

With his silver-winning throw at Asiad, Jena has breached the Paris Olympic qualification mark of 85.50m.
