Neeraj Chopra won the silver medal in the Paris Olympics 2024. But this time, he had to be content with the silver medal in Paris. This night was full of emotions for Neeraj and the whole country.
When Neeraj entered the final of the Javelin Throw on Thursday night, everyone’s eyes were on him. Everyone hoped he would create history again and win India’s gold medal. But this night of sports, he brought something else. Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan won the gold medal with a brilliant throw of 92.97 meters, and Neeraj’s throw of 89.45 meters took him to silver.
He Has Become The Fourth Player Of India
This moment was not easy for Neeraj. His first attempt was a foul, which hurt his confidence a bit. He committed five fouls, but Neeraj did not give up. He threw 89.45 meters in his second attempt, which took him to the silver medal. However, a struggle was clearly visible on Neeraj’s face.
Nadeem’s excellent throw had put pressure on him, and this tension was clearly visible in his foul. But with this silver medal, Neeraj has touched another milestone. He has become the fourth Indian player to win two Olympic medals. Before him, this list included the names of Sushil Kumar, PV Sindhu and Manu Bhaker.
You Are Gold Neeraj
The country’s hopes were with him, and Neeraj tried his best. Although he missed the gold, his hard work and passion again made India proud. Neeraj’s journey is not over yet. This is just another step towards the heights he will reach someday.
