Indian javelin thrower Yashvir Singh revealed that a tip from Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra inspired the best performance of his career, taking him from seventh position to a bronze medal at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

Heading into the final attempt, Yashvir sat in seventh place with a mark of 81.33m, while South Africa's Douw Smit held the bronze position with an effort of 82.88m. However, Yashvir produced a sensational final throw to secure a podium finish.
