Chopra is expected to attempt to break the 90-metre mark, but he faces competition from Jakub Vadlejch of the Czech Republic and Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem.
Vadlejch took home the silver medal in Tokyo, and he'll be hoping to go one better in France. He comes into this summer's Olympics on the back of winning this year's European Championships in Italy after throwing 88.65m.
In the women's competition, Japan’s Haruka Kitaguchi is the favourite to take home gold. She won last year's World Championships in Budapest, as well as winning gold in the Diamond League.
