What temperament from Neeraj! He must have been devastated at missing out on Olympics but bounced back in tremendous form. 

 

P.S. Dont compare his throw with Olympic standard and London throws as here Javelin would have been lighter 

I think weight is same i.e. 800 gms

yes javelin is the same and he is 8th in the world in the senior category with that throw ...pity he did not make it to Rio ...but a gold in the under 20 is huge ..............It is the first gold we have got at world athletics at any event

Narsingh yadav dope test found positive ... he may not participate in RIO.... such a shame that sushil kumar lost this opportunity

[Partha_SG 1]

This is 100% a sabotage by the Sushil Kumar camp. Narsingh had already expressed doubts over his safety at the Sonepat camp. And now this. What a shame.

[Partha_SG 1]

I think only a complete fool will try and dope after winning the right to fight in Rio after a bitter court battle. Has to be a big conspiracy behind this.

[Dolby 754]

Hopefully, his B sample would be found clean. I hope it is a mistake by someone, as the two other alternatives are really sad. If he did dope, it puts a question mark over almost the whole team as majority of them train together. If there is deliberate foul, it has to be from Sushil camp and I don't want to lose respect for India's only 2 time individual Olympic medallist.
