Neeraj Chopra at Paris 2024 Olympics: Javelin throw schedule and event times for India

India’s Neeraj Chopra will be in action in the men’s javelin throw event at the Paris 2024 Olympics, which starts at the Stade de France from Tuesday.

The Indian javelin throw ace is the reigning Olympic and world champion in the event. At Tokyo 2020, the 26-year-old won the gold medal in men’s javelin throw and became the first Indian to ever medal in an athletics event at the Olympics.

Neeraj Chopra’s Olympic javelin throw event will be available to watch on live streaming and telecast in India.

At Paris 2024, javelin throw events, like all field events, will be conducted over two phases - the qualification round and the final medal round.

The field of 32 will compete in two groups - A and B - in the qualifying round. Athletes can directly make the cut for the final by achieving the pre-approved entry standard of 84.00m.

If fewer than 12 manage to hit the automatic qualifying mark, the next highest-ranked athletes from the qualifiers, up to a total of at least 12, will be included in the final. If more than 12 hit the entry standard in the qualifying round, all who achieve the mark will advance to the final.
