Chopra started with a throw of 80. 79m on his first attempt. He then fouled on the second and third attempts, sending him down to fifth, with German Julian Weber leading the way.

The Indian athlete promoted with an 85. 22m throw on his fourth attempt, putting him in second place behind frontman Jakub Vadlejch. Chopra fouled another on his fifth attempt to finish second behind Vadlejch.

On the final attempt, Chopra threw a distance of 85. 71m, almost surpassing Vadlejch’s best effort of 85. 86m. At the 2023 World Athletics Championships, held in Budapest, Hungary, Chopra made history by becoming the first Indian to win a gold medal.
