India’s star Javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra with his greatest throw\u00a0wins the gold medal with a tremendous distance of 88.88 metres, while Kishore Jena takes home the silver with a throw that reaches 87.54 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, due to a technical glitch that occurred during the men’s javelin event at the Asian Games 2023, Chopra’s first throw was not recorded by the organisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Neeraj appeared to be in excellent form as he executed a huge throw on his very first try and appeared to have comfortably surpassed the 85-meter barrier. Neeraj was requested to retake the throw when the event management were confused because they were unable to accurately measure the throw owing to a technological issue. Neeraj’s first official try was for 82.38 metres, and he then made an even better attempt for 84.49 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
