Neeraj Chopra Rockets Into The Olympic Javelin Final Wearing An Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Ultra Light

Competing in the race for Olympic glory, defending champion Neeraj Chopra delivered his career second best throw into the men’s javelin final at the Paris 2024 Olympics wearing an OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra Ultra Light on his wrist. The impressive throw of 89.34 meters surpassed the direct qualification standard of 84 meters and elevated the champion into the race for gold at the Stade de France on his very first attempt. 

Neeraj commented, “This was a good throw, possibly my biggest ever in qualifying. All the throwers are in good shape, and the final will be a really good competition. My biggest motivation is to always do my best, as I know I haven't reached my peak yet. I aim to improve technically and in distance.”

The 26-year-old, who holds the national record in India with a personal best of 89.94 meters set at the Stockholm Diamond League in 2022, also logged his season's best in the qualification round in Paris. Neeraj now looks forward to the final on August 8, promising an exciting contest.
