Neeraj rewrites national record to 89.30m; clinches silver in Finland

Olympic Champion Neeraj Chopra improved his national record to 89.30m to clinch the silver medal at Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku (Finland) on Tuesday.

Gold medal was clinched by an unlikely contender in Oliver Helander, who threw 89.83m in his second attempt in front of home crowd.

Neeraj hurled his throw in his second attempt as well to improve his previous national record of 88.07m at Indian Grand Prix 3 in Patiala last year. His six-round sequence on Tuesday were 86.92m, 89.30, X, X, X, 85.85.

This was the first time Neeraj was competing since his Olympic triumph in Tokyo, where he hurled the javelin 87.58m.

This was also the third time in a row that the track and field star has thrown big in his first competition of the year. In January 2020, Neeraj threw 87.86m in Potchefstroom (South Africa) to qualify for the Olympics. 2021 saw him throw his new national record of 88.07m in Patiala last March.

The first of these was Meena Shah, who made the national crown her own between 1959 and ’65; the second was Madhumita Goswami-Bisht, who won the title in an unbroken reel of seven from 1984 to ’90, and ended up with ten singles crowns; and the third was Aparna Popat, who made it nine in a row between 1997 and 2005. Stroke artist Ami Ghia-Shah, who reached an unbelievable 15 national singles finals among the 36 summit clashes she managed in a 19-year career, has also been anointed national singles queen on seven occasions, but these were not in consecutive years. Ami won four consecutive titles from 1973 to ’76, and then again in 1979, ’80 and ’83. There is one thing that Aparna, Madhumita and Ami had in common – they have all been slim and trim during their reign at the top. Meena Shah, on the other hand
