Olympics 2024: Kishore Jena on verge of crashing out early from javelin throw event

Indian athlete Kishore Jena placed ninth in men's javelin throw Group A qualifier at the Olympics with a lackluster 80.73m throw, risking elimination. Jena awaits Group B results where Neeraj Chopra competes. To reach the final, athletes must throw 84m+. Top performers included Julian Weber (87.76m), Julius Yego (85.97m), Jakub Vadlejch (85.63m), and Toni Keranen (85.27m). Jena, who secured an Olympic spot with an 87.54m throw last year, struggled to maintain form since.
