New Delhi. Indian athletes performed brilliantly on the 13th day of Paris Olympics 2024. On this day, Indian javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra won the silver medal, while Pakistani athlete Arshad Nadeem created a new Olympic record by winning the gold medal. Neeraj Chopra performed excellently in the javelin throw final of Paris Olympics 2024, although he missed the gold medal. Neeraj threw 89.45 meters in his second attempt of the final match, which was his second best throw of this season. However, he fouled in four out of five attempts in the final, due to which his dream of winning the gold medal could not be fulfilled.
