Neeraj Chopra once again provided a silver lining to India's campaign at the Olympics by winning the silver medal at the 2024 Paris Games.

The star athlete threw a season best distance of 89.45m to take home the silver in javelin throw. Neeraj has been one of the most consistent athletes for India winning medals at all major events including the World Championships, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games.

Apart from his stellar show that helped India climb up the medal tally, the one thing everyone is talking about the watch that Neeraj wore during the event.

For the record, ahead of the Paris Olympics 2024, Neeraj became one of the ambassadors of the watchmakers Omega. He had sported a "Ultra Light" from the Seamaster Aqua Terra collection then.

Fresh from his second-place finish in the Paris Olympic Games 2024, India's star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra failed to bag the top-podium spot yet again, salvaging the second spot in the Lausanne Diamond League on Thursday. Neeraj didn't look at his best the entire contest, yet managed to throw his season best of 89.49m in his last attempt, but that was only good enough for a silver-medal finish. Though Neeraj remained just inches away from breaching the 90-metre mark, his reaction to the final effort said everything about what he was feeling.
