Following his second-place finish in the Diamond League Final, Neeraj Chopra took to social media to reflect on his 2024 campaign. One of India’s leading athletes, the 26-year-old also revealed he participated in Brussels with a fractured fourth metacarpal in his left hand.

Nadeem, who finished second behind Chopra in Budapest, was recently quoted, saying: “It has now got to a stage where the javelin is damaged and I have asked the national federation and my coach to do something about it before the Paris Olympics.
Nadeem, who came up with the magic mark of 90.18m throw to claim the gold at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in 2022, on Thursday revealed that the only international standard javelin that he had is currently out of shape. Consequently, Nadeem is currently training with a locally-made javelin but that could lead to injury in the run-up to the Paris Olympics
