Paris Olympics 2024: How Neeraj Chopra's Season Best Was Not Enough To Beat Arshad Nadeem For Paris Olympics 2024 Gold
Neeraj Chopra pulled off a season best attempt of 89.45m in the Paris Olympics 2024 javelin final but it was not enough to clinch the gold medal. The defending world champion had to be satisfied with the silver as Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem broke the Olympic record with a throw of 92.97m. Both Neeraj and Nadeem committed fouls in their respective first attempts but the Pakistani athlete stunned everyone with his second throw. The fans at the Stade de France in Paris were left in shock as Arshad's second attempt went for 92.97m and as a result, he broke the Olympic record by more than 2 metres. Neeraj's second attempt was his season's best at 89.45m but it was nothing compared to Nadeem's mammoth effort.
