Paris Olympics 2024 LIVE Updates: Neeraj Chopra surpassed his gold-medal throw from Tokyo but missed out on a second consecutive top finish due to an exceptional performance by Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem. The Indian men’s hockey team gave PR Sreejesh a storybook ending to his career. He retired with two consecutive Olympic medals after starting his international journey when India first failed to qualify for the Games.
Neeraj Chopra threw 1.87m farther than his Tokyo Olympic gold-winning throw, but in Paris, he secured silver as Arshad Nadeem made history for Pakistan with an Olympic record throw of 92.97m, crossing 90m again with his final attempt to claim gold. Nadeem is the first Pakistani to win an individual Olympic gold. Neeraj becomes the third Indian, after PV Sindhu and Sushil Kumar, to win individual Olympic medals at two different Games.
