Neeraj Chopra Wins Silver at Paris Olympics

Neeraj Chopra made history at the 2024 Paris Olympics by becoming the first Indian track-and-field athlete to win medals at consecutive Olympics, clinching a silver medal with a throw of 89.45 meters in the javelin final. He joined an elite group of Indian athletes, becoming the fifth to win multiple individual Olympic medals, alongside Sushil Kumar and P.V. Sindhu. Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan secured the gold with a record-breaking throw of 92.97 meters, marking Pakistan's first Olympic medal since 1992. Neeraj's achievement follows his gold medal victory at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and places him among notable Indian Olympians like Norman Pritchard and Manu Bhaker. Despite his season-best performance, Neeraj's efforts were not enough to defend his title as he finished behind Nadeem. This performance highlights Neeraj's consistency and dominance in the sport, as he has maintained a top-three finish in competitions for six years.
