It was a relay of gold medals for Team India as first, javelin superstar Neeraj Chopra defended his title and minutes later, the men’s 4x400m relay team bagged first place on the final day of the athletics competition at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre on Wednesday.

While Chopra’s 88.88m gold medal-winning throw was his season’s best, the men’s quartet of Muhammad Anas, Amoj Jacob, Muhammad Ajmal and Rajesh Ramesh set a new national record with their timing of 3:01.58. But all this was after a drama-filled javelin final that saw Chopra throwing seven times instead of the stipulated six because of an error by the field officials.
