Neeraj Chopra-Arshad Nadeem: Neeraj Chopra is not right, but his admirer will win the medal… a gift to Pakistan!

Before the start of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, India has suffered a major setback. Medal-seeking defending champion javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra has pulled out of the Commonwealth Games due to a hamstring strain. He suffered this injury during the World Championships in Eugene. There he won the historic silver medal. The 24-year-old Olympic champion was to defend his title in the men’s javelin throw in Birmingham.

Neeraj’s withdrawal means that he will not see two-time world champion Anderson Peters of Grenada in Birmingham. In the World Championship, it was Peters who did not let Neeraj get gold while winning. The last time both the athletes landed together in the Commonwealth, Peters was third and Neeraj got the gold. Peters is in strong form and has been throwing consistently over 90. Nevertheless, in the Commonwealth Games, he was the most threatened by Neeraj. Now that Neeraj has left, the gold of the event is almost clearly visible in Peters’ bag.

Peters’ gold looks solid. With Neeraj withdrawing, the fight will be for Silver and Bronze. Out of the top 5 athletes in the World Championship, three athletes will no longer be seen in the Commonwealth Games. In such a situation, Pakistan can have silver. In World Athletics, Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem finished fifth with 86.16m. If the remaining athletes repeat the performance of the World Championship, then silver is sure to be in Nadeem’s hand. However, there will also be Trinidad and Tobago’s Keshorn Walcott who can take on Peters when he has his day.

Rohit and Manu in charge
Even after Neeraj’s withdrawal, two Indian athletes will claim a medal in the men’s javelin throw event. Rohit Yadav and DP Manu. Rohit finished 10th overall in the World Championships with 78.72m. Rohit’s best is 82.54 meters and even if he matches his best, there will be no hope of a medal. Another athlete, 22-year-old Manu’s best throw is 84.35m, which he achieved at the Inter State Championships last month. He could not qualify for the World Championship due to poor world rankings, but he could make an impact if he got the chance at the Commonwealth Games.
