Commonwealth Games 2026: Neeraj Chopra Wins Silver, Yashvir Singh Takes Bronze in Men’s Javelin

Neeraj Chopra Commonwealth Games 2026 Silver

India’s Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra secured the silver medal in the men’s javelin throw at the Commonwealth Games 2026 with a season-best throw of 85.83m.

However, Sri Lanka’s R.T. Pathirage stole the show by producing a stunning 89.75m effort to win the gold medal. India celebrated a double podium finish as Yashvir Singh claimed bronze with a personal best throw of 85.41m in the final round, earning his maiden Commonwealth Games medal. Former world champion Anderson Peters finished fourth, while Pakistan’s defending champion Arshad Nadeem endured a disappointing outing, ending ninth with 77.41m.

Rohit Yadav finished seventh for India. The two javelin medals helped India raise its overall Commonwealth Games 2026 medal tally to 23.
