CWG 2026: Why All Javelin Throwers Failed To Cross 84m Mark

At CWG 2026, no men's javelin thrower, including Neeraj Chopra and Arshad Nadeem, hit the 84m automatic qualification mark. Strong crosswinds in Glasgow disrupted spear flight, with gusts up to 13 km/h. Chopra's best was 79.61m, Nadeem 78.63m. Only four athletes exceeded 80m, all advancing to the final without the auto mark.
