Paris: Defending champion Neeraj Chopra clinches Silver Medal in Men's Javelin Throw but the night belonged to Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem, who destroyed competition by setting a new Olympic record for his country's maiden individual gold at the showpiece.
Nadeem managed an astonishing 92.97m in his second attempt to set the bar too high for the rest of the field, including Chopra, who seemed under pressure and managed just one legitimate throw -- the silver-winning 89.45m in the second round.
It was the season's best effort from the Indian, topping his qualification throw of 89.34m. (with Agency inputs)
