Why Arshad Nadeem Has A Big Advantage Over Neeraj Chopra?

When Neeraj Chopra competes in the Javelin event final at the Paris Olympics, he will be the focus of attention as the defending champion and India's top prospect for securing a gold medal. His exceptional throw of 89.34m during the qualification round served as a remarkable display of skill. However, the path to victory will be challenging, as he faces formidable competition from Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan and Anderson Peters of Grenada.

Despite Neeraj's history of prevailing over Arshad, the latter's notable throw of 90.18m at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham presents a significant challenge. Arshad has already crossed the 90m mark, boasting a personal best of 90.18m, while Neeraj is yet to achieve this milestone, with a personal best of 89.94m. Consequently, Arshad holds a slight psychological advantage as they approach the final.
