Douw Smit of South Africa was second with his second round throw of 84.12m while two-time world champion Anderson Peters of Grenada was third with his opening attempt of 83.63m. Chopra opened with a foul on his first attempt, putting early pressure on the Olympic champion. However, he bounced back strongly in his second throw, launching the javelin to 83.45m, comfortably crossing the 80m mark and placing third behind South Africa’s Smit (84.12m, a personal best) and Grenada’s Peters (83.63m).
