TURKU (Finland), June 18, 2024 (TBINN)
India’s Olympic and World Champion Javelin Throw Star Neeraj Chopra claimed his maiden Gold Medal at Paavo Nurmi Games here today, dominating a stellar field on his return to competitive action following a month-long break.
Neeraj Chopra, who claimed Silver here in 2022, produced the winning effort of 85.97 meters in his third attempt to lead the field for a major part of the competition.
Indian proved himself heads and shoulders above much-hyped 19-year-old German prodigy Max Dehning, who came here as youngest member of the 90 meters’ club but finished a disappointing seventh in the eight-strong field.
