The second Indian to win an Olympic gold medal was born on December 24, 1997. On August 7, 2020, he achieved a national record in Javelin throwing, with a remarkable distance of 87.58 meters. Chopra’s gold medal win in Tokyo marked a historic moment for India. He has secured victories in various international competitions, clinching gold medals at both the 2018 Commonwealth Games and the 2018 Asian Games.
Neeraj Chopra achieved another historic feat on Sunday, becoming the first Indian athlete to win World Athletics Championships gold medal during the men's javelin throw final event in Budapest. Chopra's second attempt in the final saw him launch the javelin to a distance of 88.17 meters, which remained the highest in the event. Neeraj's achievement marked a significant improvement from the 2022 edition of the Worlds, where he secured a silver medal.

India has brought home 5 Bronze medals 🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉 and 1 Silver medal 🥈 in the #ParisOlympics2024, yet has fallen short of the expectations of sports devotees 😔 as no athlete has claimed the GOLD. 🥇 Especially, 1.4 billion people 🇮🇳 were counting on a single throw by Neeraj Chopra, who won the Gold Medal in #Tokyo2020. ‘Unfortunately,’ he missed first place 💔 and brought home Silver as Pakistani Javelin player Arshad Nadeem won the Gold Medal in the Paris Olympics this year. And that has become the major Buzzkill 😒 among the great winnings.
The question is- can’t we be a little optimistic and supportive toward the players as these achievements exemplify no less than Gold? 🤔

Neeraj Chopra expressed disappointment in his performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, saying, "I only made one throw; the others I fouled."
India's Neeraj Chopra is unhappy with his Olympics 2024 performance despite winning a silver medal on Thursday. Chopra said that despite not looking his best, he managed to do just enough to end up behind Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem.
Nadeem on Thursday won the gold medal in the men's javelin by breaking the Olympic record with a throw of 92.97 meters. Chopra, on the other hand, won a silver medal with a throw of 89.45 meters.
He said that it was a good throw, but his technique was not great. "My technique and runway were not that good. (I managed) only one throw; the rest I fouled," Chopra said. He added that if your run is not good in javelin, you cannot throw very far.
Neeraj Chopra added that regular injuries ahead of the Paris Olympics 2024 also impacted his preparations. "The last 2 or 3 years were not so good for me. I'm always injured. I tried hard, but I have to work on my injury (staying injury-free) and technique," the 26-year-old Indian ace said.
Chopra also congratulated his rival Arshad Nadeem for the latter's stellar performance in the match. "Today's competition was great. Arshad Nadeem threw well. Congratulations to him and his country," he said.
Meanwhile, Neeraj Chopra's family expressed their joy on Friday after he won a silver medal in the men's javelin throw final at the Paris Olympics. His mother, Saroj Devi, told ANI that she was pleased with his performance and looked forward to cooking his favorite meal upon his return. She also praised Arshad Nadeem's performance, saying he is like their son.
"'We are very happy. For us, silver is also equal to gold. The one who got the gold (Arshad Nadeem) is also like our son," Saroj Devi said. "He (Neeraj Chopra) was injured, so we are happy with his performance. I will cook his favorite food," she added.
Neeraj Chopra's father, Satish Kumar, said it was Pakistan's day in the men's javelin throw final. "Everyone has their day. Today was Pakistan's day. But we have won silver, and it is a proud thing for us," Kumar said. He added that Chopra's groin injury impacted his performance in Paris.
He also mentioned that Neeraj's performance in Paris will inspire the next generation. "He has won silver for the country. We are happy and proud. All the youths will get inspired by him,'" Kumar told reporters.
His grandfather, Dharm Singh Chopra, also commented on his grandson's achievement, saying, "He has given his best performance and won silver, adding one more medal to the country."
Arshad Nadeem set a new Olympic record for Pakistan's first individual gold at the event. Nadeem achieved a record 92.97 meters in his second attempt, setting a bar too high for the rest of the competitors, including Chopra, who managed 89.45 meters in the second round to win the silver.
The previous Olympic record was 90.57 meters, set by Andreas Thorkildsen of Norway during the 2008 Beijing Games.
