Neeraj Chopra on missing out on the gold medal: If India had the highest hopes for a gold medal in Paris Olympics 2024, it was Neeraj Chopra. However, the star missed out on winning gold in javelin throw. He won the silver medal with a throw of 89.45 meters. This throw was his best throw this season. Along with this, Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan won the gold by throwing 92.97 meters. This is a new Olympic record. Earlier, Neeraj had defeated Nadeem in ten matches.
Neeraj expressed his sorrow for not winning the gold medal
Expressing the pain of losing the gold medal, Neeraj said, 'I gave my best, but every athlete has his day. Today was Arshad's day, so it was my day in Tokyo.' Along with this, Neeraj also made a big prediction that even though I could not sing our national anthem in Paris, it will happen. Actually, the national anthem of the country that wins the gold medal is played.
We will fix the flaws
After winning the silver medal, 26-year-old Neeraj said, “Whenever we win a medal for the country, we feel happy.” Now the time has come to improve the game. We will sit, discuss and review. Whatever flaws there are, they will be removed. Overall, India's performance has been good. Do not compare winning gold, bronze or silver medals with Tokyo. It is not necessary that our medals increase every time. But this is a sign for the times to come that our medals will increase even more.
When Neeraj was asked about the competition in the Paris final compared to Tokyo, he said, “There was a lot of competition. Every athlete has his day. Today was Arshad's day. But if we talk about Tokyo, Budapest or Asian Games, it was our day.”
