NEW DELHI: Both Neeraj Chopra and Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem had foul throws in their opening attempts during the final. However, when Nadeem returned for his second throw, no one anticipated the record-breaking performance that would secure him the gold medal. Nadeem unleashed a spectacular 92.97 meters on his second attempt, setting a new Olympic record that left the Stade de France in awe.
Following his remarkable throw, Nadeem celebrated by raising both hands, looking skyward, and showing a touch of emotion, fully aware of the significance of his achievement for his country.
