It may seem like a one-sided affair in cricket, especially with recent India-Pakistan matches, but that isn’t the case in some other sports, particularly one that has reignited the India-Pakistan rivalry, and that is the javelin throw event. Neeraj Chopra, the Tokyo Olympics gold medalist, is now a silver medalist. Although it may be a silver medal, the achievement still shines like gold.
Interestingly, as mentioned, the Indo-Pak rivalry was at play, as Chopra lost to a neighbor, Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, who stunned everyone by setting a record with a monstrous throw of 92.97 meters at Paris Olympics, earning the Olympic gold medal. On the other hand, Chopra, who seemed slightly off his usual form, still managed to secure the silver medal with a throw of 89.45 meters, giving India their first silver medal at Olympics 2024. Since this golden boy has once again returned with a medal, let’s take a look at what people are saying about these two athletes and how they feel about this silver medal for now.
