Neeraj Chopra Eyes Olympic Javelin Throw Title Defense, India in Bronze Medal Hockey Match

Day 13 of the Paris Olympics promises to be a pivotal day for India, with Neeraj Chopra, the reigning Olympic champion in men's javelin throw, set to defend his title in the final. Chopra's impressive qualification throw of 89.34m on his first attempt has positioned him as the frontrunner in the event. If successful, he will become only the fifth man in Olympic javelin throw history to retain the title and the first Indian to win multiple gold medals in singles events.

Meanwhile, the Indian men's hockey team will face Spain in the bronze medal match after a narrow 2-3 defeat to Germany in the semi-final. Harmanpreet Singh and his teammates will be determined to secure a podium finish for the second consecutive Olympics.

In wrestling, Aman Sehrawat and Anshu Malik will begin their campaigns in the round of 16 matches in the men's 57kg freestyle and women's 57kg freestyle categories, respectively.

Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar will represent India in the women's individual strokeplay round 2 golf event.
