What do they call Javelin in hindi?

 

My guess is the commentary goes something like "yeh dekhiye unhone bhaale ko kitni bakhoobi se itni door phainka. Inki kissi se koi tulna nahi hai"

And the one with the highest average wins? How does scoring work?

Longest distance, not average

Is that how it works? So the highest score in 6 tries works? Commiting foul isnt that bad?

Thanks. So what's the strategy? Better to go all out now or the last 3 tries so you sort of know the target well?

Javelin?

 

Its unbearable to hear them link everything to Neeraj, if a player commits a foul its because of the pressure of Neeraj.

He walked across the white line. Lotof Javelin throwers do that deliberately if they didn't make a good throw. They don't want that score to be recorded against their names.

netherlands win. india medal ceremony in a while.

[Vickydev]

They must eliminate some athletes after a few attempts right?
