It was the first time since 1951 that India won gold in both men's and women's javelin throw at the Asian Games.

 Javelin throw: Neeraj Chopra clinches hard-fought gold, Kishore Jena wins silver | Asian Games 2023

Poster boy of Indian athletics, Neeraj Chopra defended his Asian Games gold medal with a throw of 88.88m. He got a tough fight from Kishore Jena, who finished with a silver.

It was the first time since 1951 that India won gold in both men's and women's javelin throw at the Asian Games.

The writing was on the wall. Neeraj Chopra was being labelled as the favourite to win Men's Javelin throw gold and he lived up to the billing.
Poster boy of Indian athletics, Neeraj finished at the top of the podium but got a tough fight from Kishore Jena, who finished with a silver.
Neeraj's first throw probably around the 87m mark but he had to retake it because another athlete went for his throw before Neeraj's was measured.
The Tokyo Olympics gold medallist then recorded 84.49m with his second attempt and was leading before Jena overtook him in his 3rd attempt with his Personal Best throw of 86.77m.
With that throw, he also qualified for the Paris Olympics. The qualification mark was 85.50.
But Neeraj didn't give up. He once again took the lead with a throw of 88.88m. Jena improved his personal best recorded a throw of 87.54m but that still fell a little short but helped him clinch silver.
What made the feat even more historic was the fact that it was the first time since 1951 that India won gold in both men's and women's javelin throw at the Asian Games.

Coincidentally, the two Gold medals that have come for India today have come from women - Parul Chaudhary and Annu Rani, who both hail from Uttar Pradesh's Meerut.

<h2>Coincidentally, the two Gold medals that have come for India today have come from women - Parul Chaudhary and Annu Rani, who both hail from Uttar Pradesh's Meerut.</h2>

India's Annu Rani clinched the second gold for the country in athletics today and the first-ever in women's javelin throw event.
Annu took the lead with her second throw of 61.28 metres. But Sri Lanka&rsquo;s Nadeesha Hatarabage then went past the Indian with her fourth throw of 61.57 metres.&nbsp;
But just when the going got tough, Annu Rani produced her best to snatch the lead once again.
Her sensational season-best throw of 62.92 metres in her fourth attempt was enough to win her the Gold. Annu&rsquo;s top finish in Hangzhou also took India&rsquo;s gold medal tally to 15 for the Hangzhou Games.
Coincidentally, the two Gold medals that have come for India today have come from women who both hail from Uttar Pradesh's Meerut.

But since it's the same javelin which flew 87.58m from the hands of&nbsp;Neeraj&nbsp;Chopra to fetch India it's first Olympic gold in individual event since 2008, the spear is fetched that amount. Moreover,&nbsp;it has Neeraj Chopra&rsquo;s autograph on it and after his win, the 23-year-old met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and gifted it to him.
