In a thrilling finale at the Paris Olympics, Neeraj Chopra secured the silver medal in the men’s javelin event, becoming only the second male athlete from India to win consecutive Olympic medals. Although Chopra delivered a season-best performance, he narrowly missed the gold, which was claimed by Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, who set a new Olympic record. Chopra’s family later revealed that he was carrying an injury, which affected his performance in the final.
