The record
Written from the 2 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- All three Indian javelin throwers — Neeraj Chopra, Rohit Yadav, and Yashvir Singh — qualified for the men's javelin final at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow by finishing in the top 12 of the qualification round.
- Neeraj threw 79.61 metres to finish fifth, while Rohit (78.37m) and Yashvir (78.36m) were ninth and tenth, as cold conditions and headwinds prevented anyone from hitting the 84-metre automatic qualifying mark.
- Sri Lanka's Rumesha Pathirage led qualification with 82.84m, and Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan also advanced.
- The final, where India will hope for medals, begins Friday at 11 pm Indian time.
