Javelin thrower in India

As the Paris 2024 Olympics unfold, notable performances in javelin throw are highlighted by Sri Lanka's Dilhani Lekamge and Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem. Lekamge, a seasoned competitor and captain of the Sri Lankan team, is set to participate in her final international meet today. Meanwhile, Nadeem, a leading medal hopeful for Pakistan, is competing alongside India's Neeraj Chopra in the qualification round, with both needing to reach a minimum throw of 84 meters to advance. India's Kishore Jena faced difficulties in his qualification attempt, falling short of the required mark at 80.73 meters. The competition is fierce, with Nadeem's previous achievements and potential making him a strong contender for a medal, as he seeks to build on his recent successes, including a silver at the World Championships. The outcomes of these events will be pivotal for the athletes' careers and their countries' standings in the Olympics.
