Neeraj Chopra secured a silver medal at the Paris Olympics, delivering an outstanding performance before a vibrant crowd at Stade de France. With a throw of 89.45 meters, Neeraj earned the second spot on the podium.
In just 10 seconds, Neeraj Chopra announced his supremacy as he roared into the final with a monster throw of 89.43m in his first attempt in the qualifiers earlier this week in the 2024 Paris Olympics. He obliterated the rest of the qualification field and took the top spot in the process, with what was both his season-best show and the second-best throw of his career. Neeraj was primed to successfully defend his crown in the men’s javelin final on Thursday. But India’s Golden Boy was stunned by an Olympic breaking throw by arshad nadeem as Neeraj took the second spot on the podium. Albeit a historic silver, the 26-year-old admitted that he “won’t be at peace” unless he achieves greater highs than his Paris feat.
