Defending Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra said he has saved his best for the final after topping the men’s javelin throw qualification with a throw of 89.34m in the Paris Olympics here at the Stade de France on Tuesday. 

Neeraj achieved the best throw of the qualification across both groups in his first attempt to start his title defence in style. He won the gold medal in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics with a throw of 87.58m. He became the first Indian to win an individual Olympic gold medal in the track and field event.
