Defending champion Neeraj Chopra faces a tough challenge as he aims to surpass Arshad Nadeem at the top of the javelin standings. Chopra, who has never thrown beyond 90 meters before, threw a season best of 89.45m, still trailing Nadeem by about three meters. Nadeem, on the other hand, achieved the sixth-longest throw of all time.
Chopra's winning throw at the Tokyo Olympics was 87.58m, showcasing his skill and determination. The competition between Chopra and Nadeem promises to be intense as they battle for the top spot in the javelin event.
Interestingly, Pakistan has a rich history at the Olympics, having won a total of 10 medals since 1948. Their most recent medal was claimed in 1992 when the men's hockey team secured a bronze medal. The rivalry between Pakistan and India adds an extra layer of excitement to the ongoing competition, with both nations vying for the coveted gold medal.
