Chopra Out, India's Javelin Gold Hopes Shift
28 Sep
Summary
- India's javelin throw final features Rohit Yadav and Yash Vir Singh.
- Defending champion Neeraj Chopra is out due to injury.
- Chopra won gold medals in the last two Asian Games.
On Monday, September 28, India's men's javelin throwers Rohit Yadav and Yash Vir Singh will vie for a medal in the final at the Asian Games 2026. This decisive event in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, will proceed without the formidable presence of Neeraj Chopra. Chopra, the defending champion, has been sidelined due to an ankle ligament injury. This injury has unfortunately concluded his 2026 competitive season prematurely. Chopra's absence is particularly notable as he secured consecutive gold medals in the 2018 and 2023 editions of the Asian Games. His withdrawal significantly alters the landscape of India's javelin aspirations for this year's competition.
