Neeraj Chopra's season-best throw of 89.45m at the Paris Olympics 2024 javelin final secured him the silver medal. Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem stunned the crowd with an Olympic record throw of 92.97m, clinching the gold. Despite fouling his first attempt, Nadeem's second throw broke the record by over two meters. Neeraj, the defending world champion, couldn't surpass Nadeem's mark, with his best effort falling short. Nadeem's victory made him the first Pakistani athlete to win an individual Olympic gold. Neeraj's strong performance in qualification couldn't be replicated in the final.
