The final round

It is worthy to be mentioned here that the final competition was an intense one between Neeraj Chopra and Pakistani star Arshad Nadeem. Notably, Arshad won the gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, surpassing Chopra. 

Neeraj and Arshad have not faced each other since then, due to the tension between the two nations after the unprovoked attack on India by Pakistan.

It is to be noted that Chopra was playing hard to make his mark to defend his title. Notably, the title was owned earlier by Czech coach Jan Zelenzy and Anderson Peters of Grenada.
