Wrestler Vinesh Phogat's heartbreaking exit from the Paris Olympics 2024 made the entire India emotional. Vinesh, who had entered the women's 50kg freestyle wrestling final, was disqualified from the event for being 100 grams overweight.

History-making Pakistan javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem is quite pleased that his rivalry with Indian superstar Neeraj Chopra is becoming as talked about as the cricketing battles between the two feuding neighbours as he believes it will fuel the sporting ambition of youngsters in both the nations. Nadeem bested Chopra for the first time in their 11 face-offs to claim the Olympic gold medal with a sensational Games record of 92.97m on Thursday night. Chopra took the silver with a season's best effort of 89.45m, adding another chapter to their storied rivalry.
When Pakistan's national sports board was deciding who to finance among the seven athletes bound for the Paris Olympics, only Arshad Nadeem and his coach were deemed good enough for funds. Nadeem and his coach Salman Fayyaz Butt were the lucky ones to have their air tickets financed by PSB (Pakistan Sports Board). On Thursday, the 27-year-old from Khanewal village in the Punjab region repaid the faith with an Olympic record and the country's first individual gold at the biggest sporting stage on the planet.
India's 'golden boy, Neeraj Chopra, could only fetch a silver medal at the Paris Olympics as Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem made history for his nation by winning the gold medal. While Chopra said it was time to assess his performance and focus on future improvements, the entire India reflected on what seems like an Olympics campaign that would not fetch India a single gold medal. Even businessman Anand Mahindra took to social media, admitting that he was devastated to see Neeraj miss out on the gold medal. But, for him, he still is a hero who is worthy of gold because of his humility and consistency.
Neeraj Chopra, the first Indian to win an Olympic gold medal in athletics, maintained his consistency to bring home a silver medal from the Paris Olympics 2024. He threw a season best 89.45m in the men's javelin throw event but fell short of the gold medal after Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem threw an Olympic record 92.97m in his second attempt. Neeraj Chopra's father Satish Kumar was asked about whether his son was under pressure after Nadeem's monstrous throw.
