Neeraj Chopra, the man with the golden arm whose Tokyo 2020 performance made him a superstar, is now taking charge at the Paris Olympics 2024. Chopra, known for his spectacular performances over the years, has become a favorite in India. However, this emerging big name is currently becoming a victim of fake news circulating on the internet. The rumor spreading is that Neeraj Chopra’s event is over and that he has won. Is this true? As it is a rumor, what is the current status of Neeraj Chopra’s event at the Paris Olympics 2024?
Has Neeraj Chopra Won at Paris Olympics 2024 ?
Neeraj Chopra has not yet won an Olympic medal at the Paris Olympics 2024. He has qualified for the final round, but he is still a bit away from securing a medal. The final round is scheduled to take place on August 8 at 11:55 PM IST and is expected to be highly competitive.
So far, Neeraj Chopra, who was placed in Group B of the qualification round, advanced to the finals on his first attempt by throwing a distance of 89.34 meters, which placed him at the top of his group. To be fair, he topped both the group with a significant throw. On the other hand, Kaushik Jena from Group A unfortunately did not qualify. In Group A, German javelin thrower Julian Weber led with a throw of 87.76 meters. A total of 12 athletes will compete in the finals. It will be interesting to see if the reigning champion Neeraj Chopra can rise to the occasion once again.
