Breaking News: After setting a new national record with a huge 89.30m earlier this week, it is Neeraj Chopra's first gold of the year.

At the Kuortane Games in Kuortane, Finland, on Saturday, Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra won the javelin throw gold with his opening throw of 86.69m despite the rain and slick conditions. The enormous 89.30m that broke his national record and earned him the silver at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, also in Finland, earlier this week, was Chopra's second medal of the year.

The 24-year-old only needed one legitimate throw to win the gold; it was enough. Chopra did not attempt his next three throws after fouling his second attempt and tripping while making his subsequent throw. Keshorn Walcott, the 2012 Olympic winner from Trinidad and Tobago, came in second with 86.64m, and Anderson Peters, the world champion and this year's leader with 93.07m, came in third with 84.75m.

The first and last legal throws by Neeraj Chopra, 86.69, were good for gold.

Neeraj Chopra wins the gold medal at the Kuortane Games ahead of Keshorn Walcott's 86.64 despite the wet and slick circumstances.

Keshorn Walcott of Trinidad, who came the closest with a performance of 86.64, generated expectations of a dramatic combat, but it ended up being merely the opening skirmish. Anderson Peters, the current World Champion, who has a season-best throw of 93.06 metres, fell just behind with his opening throw of 84.75 metres. Chopra was the last of the three to come onto the runway, but hopes of a fierce competition, following his 86.69m first throw, were dashed since the javelin throwers held back due to the conditions after nonstop rain in the days leading up to the tournament.

Even before the competition started, it appeared difficult for the participants since puddles were collecting all over the track, making the run-up difficult. Oliver Helander, a local favourite who beat Chopra to victory in the Paavo Nurmi Games earlier in the week, decided to withdraw from the competition at the last minute.

All throwers' scores decreased in the following rounds, with Chopra fouling his second and third tries. In fact, after releasing the javelin on his third throw, he awkwardly slipped on the runway. Chopra stumbled during the follow-through, lost his balance, and fell to his left side.

Chopra made the decision to stop participating because she was unwilling to take any more chances. After packing his bags and returning to the bench, he passed on his fourth attempt. The fifth and sixth throws were also not attempted by him. That also applied to second-and third-place finishers Walcott and Peters.
