Neeraj Chopra Wins Commonwealth Games Silver After Injury Comeback; Yash Vir Singh Takes Bronze
Indian javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra won a silver medal at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with a season-best throw of 85.83m, marking a significant comeback after nearly 10 months of injury struggles. Chopra overcame multiple injuries, including an adductor muscle and lower back issues, which delayed his season start. He credited his physio, coach, family, and supporters for their support during his recovery. The event featured strong competition, with Sri Lanka's Rumesh Pathirage winning gold. Debutant Yash Vir Singh also secured bronze, contributing to India's historic 1-2 finish in the men's javelin throw.
