After clinching the silver medal in the Men’s Javelin Final at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Neeraj Chopra engaged with the crowd in Paris. He proudly displayed his silver medal, and the cheering fans celebrated India’s star athlete.
During his speech, Chopra expressed his regret for not achieving what he had hoped but shared that winning the medal and taking a lap with the flag was an extraordinary experience.
“I apologize as the national anthem did not play like the last time and what we had thought did not take place, but medal is medal. Winning any medal for the country and taking the laps on the track with the flag, is a different feeling,” Neeraj said during his address to the crowd in Paris, France, as per Lara Bhupati’s Instagram Stories.
Neeraj Chopra’s astounding performance in Paris Olympics finals despite injury

His initial gold came at the Tokyo Olympics, where he achieved a remarkable 89.94m throw. Chopra’s achievements underscore his historic impact on Indian athletics. This year, Neeraj was disappointed over not securing a gold in the Olympics games. However, Chopra is suffering from a groin injury.
