Asian Games - Hangzhou 2022 - Athletics - Olympic Sports Centre Stadium, Hangzhou, China - October 4, 2023 India's Neeraj Chopra reacts during the Men's Javelin Throw final - REUTERSPIX: India’s javelin king Neeraj Chopra produced a giant throw to strike gold at the Asian Games on Wednesday and cap a gruelling season, with Olympic high-jump champion Mutaz Essa Barshim joining him as a winner.
But Chopra responded emphatically with a season-best 88.88m to retain his Asian Games crown in style. “I had some issues in the first throw. There may have been a technical problem or they may not have measured my first throw properly,“ he said of the delay. He entered on the fourth jump at 2.19m and it turned into a battle with South Korea’s Woo Sang-hyeok, who won the Diamond League in Eugene that Barshim skipped.“It feels amazing to be honest. Winning today my third gold, I should be really happy and satisfied,“ said Barshim, who owns the second-highest jump in history at 2.43m.
