Arshad Nadeem won gold in the men’s javelin final in Paris Olympics, dethroning Neeraj Chopra. It was an epic India vs Pakistan duel at the Olympics and it promises to become bigger and bigger in the coming years.
Neeraj Chopra was favourite to win gold medal in the men’s javelin final in Paris. However, Arshad Nadeem stunned the field with an Olympic record throw of 92.97m. Neeraj came close to breaching the 90m-mark, but it was not enough.
While India celebrated Neeraj Chopra’s historic silver medal, there were bittersweet feelings too. Indian sports fans were not used to seeing Neeraj finish second-best often.
Neeraj Chopra has promised to improve. He conceded that breaching 90m is a necessity.
However, it was Arshad Nadeem’s day as he stole the thunder at Stade de France in Paris. With limited support and facilities back home, Neeraj became Pakistan’s first-ever track and field Olympic gold medalist.
The reactions in both countries was heartwarming. Neeraj Chopra’s mother won hearts when she dismissed hate and said ‘the guy who won gold is also our child’.
Akshay Ramesh and Saurabh Kumar discuss the sensational men’s javelin final at the Olympics.
