Indian javelin throw icon Neeraj Chopra will compete at the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, as well as the upcoming Commonwealth Games, the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) has officially confirmed. The reigning Asian Games champion is steadily recovering from a lower back injury and is expected to peak for both major international events later this year.
After a lengthy injury layoff, Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra returns to competition at the Doha Diamond League, facing a star-studded field led by Sri Lanka’s 92m thrower Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage.
