Neeraj Chopra came up with a season best throw of 89.45m to clinch silver in javelin throw event at Paris Olympics 2024 early on Friday morning. Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem, however, did better as he set a new Olympic record mark of 92.97m to take home the gold.

He is now the first individual Olympic gold medallist from Pakistan. Arshad Nadeem broke the earlier Olympic record of 90.57 - set in 2008 Beijing Olympics by Norway's Andreas Thorkildsen.

Grenada's Anderson Peters took the bronze (88.54m). Neeraj, who won gold at the Tokyo Summer Games three years back, registered a huge throw of 89.34 metre in Group B of the men's javelin throw qualification round at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday.
