Neeraj Chopra won’t participate in the event.
The men’s javelin throw final at the Asian Games 2026 is on Monday, September 28, at the Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletic Stadium. Fourteen throwers from nine countries will compete in a direct final.
Sri Lanka’s Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage is the man to beat. He enters the competition as the World No. 1, having thrown 92.62m this season — the longest mark in the world this year. Pakistan’s Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem is also in the field, although his season-best stands at 81.49m.
The rest of the field is strong too. Japan’s Yuta Sakiyama has a personal best of 87.16m, and Sri Lanka’s Sumedha Ranasinghe has reached 85.78m. The other throwers are from South Korea, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, and Kuwait, so winning a medal against them will not be easy.
