India's Paris Olympics silver medallist Neeraj Chopra has been named the best male javelin thrower in the world in 2024 by the globally-renowned American magazine 'Track and Field News'.

The 27-year-old Chopra, who was beaten by Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem for the Olympic gold medal in August last year, pipped two-time world champion Anderson Peters of Grenada for the top spot in the 2024 rankings published by the California-based magazine.
