India’s Javelin Trio Advances to Commonwealth Games Final
Three Indian javelin throwers made it to the final round of the Commonwealth Games.
Neeraj Chopra, Rohit Yadav, and Yashvir Singh all threw close to 80 meters, which was enough to be in the top 12.
No one could hit the automatic qualifying distance of 84 meters because the wind was against them and it was a bit cool at 18°C.
Because they were in the top 12, they all moved on to the final.
The final will happen the next day, on Friday.
Neeraj Chopra, Rohit Yadav, and Yashvir Singh qualify for the final.
