In the Group A qualification round, Neeraj Chopra, who had previously established a national record of 89.94 metres in Stockholm in June of this year, qualified for the World Athletics Championships at his very first attempt and started the rest of the competition.
Athletes who pass 83.50m or the top 12 finishers from each of the two qualification rounds advance to the final, under the qualification regulations. Notably, Chopra's 88.39m throw was his third-best try of all time.
Chopra, a gold winner from the Tokyo Olympics, broke a national record on June 30 at the Stockholm Diamond League with his first throw of 89.94 metres.
