Earlier, Neeraj had won the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics. This time in the Paris Olympics, Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan won the gold medal. Now the question arises that how did Neeraj Chopra miss out on winning the gold in the men’s javelin throw event of the Paris Olympics and how did Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan overtake him? So we will tell you about this.
How did Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem move ahead?
There could be two major reasons for Arshad Nadeem getting ahead and Neeraj Chopra not winning the gold medal in the Paris Olympics. Pakistan’s Arshad clearly appears to be ahead of Neeraj in two things.
Neeraj could not touch the 90 meter mark
India’s star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra has not yet crossed the 90 meter mark in his career. On the other hand, Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem has crossed the 90 meter mark more than once. First of all, Neeraj appears to be behind Pakistan’s Nadeem in long throw. The same thing happened in the final of the Paris Olympics, Nadeem crossed the 90 meter mark, while Neeraj could not touch the 90 meter mark. Neeraj’s career best throw is 89.94 meters, which he achieved in the 2022 Diamond League.
Participated in Paris Olympics despite being injured
Let us tell you that Neeraj Chopra participated in the Paris Olympics despite being injured. After winning the silver medal, Neeraj had revealed that he has a groin injury. He will also consult a doctor. Apart from this, Neeraj had told that he may also need to undergo surgery for the injury. It is also possible that due to the injury, Neeraj could not give his best and missed the gold medal.
