NEERAJ CHOPRA wins Silver Medal
In the 2024 Paris Olympics Neeraj Chopra clinched the silver medal in javelin to add another feather to his cap which has started crowning him fairly early in his career. After claiming India’s first Olympic gold in athletics at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, Neeraj was expected to put up a strong show at the Paris Games. In a field of other athletes from across the globe, he provided a beave throw of 89. 45 meters and took the silver medal. This performance specifically demonstrated that he is a performer who can deliver at the peak potential always.
This success is quite rich for Neeraj and even more so for Indian sports since it is the very first occasion that an Indian track and field athlete has medaled in two Olympics in a row. Beside the victories, the silver medalist’s path implies the training and adversity, such as injuries in the beginning of the season. Nevertheless, Neeraj did not give up and still kept on focusing on what lie ahead of him.
An inspiring testament of commitment and the progress of the Indian athletes in international competitions, is the silver medal. Neeraj’s success not only gave pride to nation but young athlete at India many young athletes across the nation. His back to back Olympic medals have put him in the pantheon of legends of Indian sports and also taking javelin and athletics to higher pedestal in this country.
Neeraj’s pursuit of higher achievements of course makes his silver medal earned at the 2024 Olympics a step leading to more achievements and with the whole of the country looking forward to seeing him soar higher.
