Neeraj Chopra has set the Paris Olympics on fire. This Indian javelin thrower surprised the world with his amazing performance in the qualification round. Neeraj broke all records by throwing the javelin 89.34 meters and made it to the finals. He became the first Indian to throw the javelin so far in the qualification round itself. This player, who won gold in the Tokyo Olympics, made it clear that he will now win gold in Paris as well. However, this is not so easy for Neeraj because a player who has defeated death in the middle of the sea has come in his way.

Beware of Anderson Peters

Anderson Peters of the Caribbean country Grenada is going to prove to be a big threat for Neeraj Chopra in the Paris Olympics. This 26-year-old player finished second in the qualification round after Neeraj Chopra. Peters threw the javelin at a distance of 88.63 meters after Neeraj Chopra, he reached the final in his very first attempt. Now let us tell you why this player is the biggest threat to Neeraj Chopra.

Neeraj Chopra was badly defeated

In the year 2022, Anderson Peters won the gold medal in the World Athletics Championship and he did this feat by defeating Neeraj Chopra. The amazing thing is that Anderson Peters threw all his three throws in the final beyond 90 meters, which Neeraj Chopra has not been able to do in his entire career.

Then an accident happened with Peters

After becoming the world champion, Anderson Peters had such an accident that his life was in danger. This player from Grenada was partying in the sea on August 13, 2022, where he got into a fight. After this, five people beat this player badly and threw him into the sea. The big thing is that the boat from which Anderson Peters was thrown belonged to the son of a Trinidad minister. Anderson Peters' life was saved in this accident but it had a deep impact on his game. But now this player has once again come to the Olympics with full preparation and believe me, Neeraj Chopra is going to get the toughest competition from this player.
