The golden arm of Neeraj Chopra follows the script to the tee. It is kind of predictable.

An Exciting India-Pakistan Affair
The javelin throw final at the World Athletics Championships became an exciting India-Pakistan affair when Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem threw a distance of 87.82m in his third attempt.
