It is worth noting that Curtis Thompson, Julius Yego, Thomas Roehler, and many more stars will be competing in the event. There is no doubt that Neeraj Chopra has come forth as the favourite to go all the way in the event. Furthermore, Brazil’s Luiz Mauricio da Silva could be one of Neeraj’s biggest competitors in the event as well.
Interestingly, Da Silva finished third at the Paris Diamond League with a throw of 86.62 m and could be one of the contenders to go all the way as well. However, considering Neeraj Chopra’s form, India’s star javelin thrower has come forth as the biggest favourite of the event.
