Neeraj Chopra has qualified for men’s javelin finals in the Commonwealth Games at Glasgow. Javelin throwers Rohit Yadav and Yashvir Singh have also entered finals. Neeraj finished fifth, Rohit Yadav 9th and Yashvir Singh 10th in the qualification round. 

Earlier, India scripted history in para athletics at the Commonwealth Games, securing a historic one-two finish in the men’s 100m T47 final as Dilip Mahadu Gavit won the gold and Mohammed Basil Morssinganakath claimed the silver last night. Gavit clocked a Games record and season-best time of 10.71 seconds to take the top spot, while Basil produced his season-best 10.83 seconds to finish second in a closely-fought race. England’s Kevin Santos completed the podium with 10.85 seconds to win bronze. The gold was India’s third at the Glasgow Games, following Mirabai Chanu’s victory in the women’s 48kg weightlifting event and Sharmila Dhankar’s triumph in the women’s shot put F57 para athletics category. India holds the eighth spot in the Commonwealth Games medal standings with 15 overall medals- three gold, nine silver and three bronze.
