Olympics 2024: India vs Pakistan
Neeraj Chopra vs Arshad Nadeem: Today is going to be a very important day in the Olympics 2024 being played in Paris. Wednesday was not a good day. First Vinesh Phogat was out of the final, that too due to 100 grams of weight. At the same time, by night, Mirabai Chanu also could not bring a medal, from whom at least a silver medal was expected this time too. Now today India can convert its three medals into 5. First the Indian hockey team will have a bronze medal match with Spain, while in the night Neeraj Chopra will be seen in action in javelin throw. Neeraj is expected to win gold. Meanwhile, Arshad Nadeem of the neighboring country i.e. Pakistan will also face him. That is, overall, today there is going to be India vs Pakistan in the Olympics.
Neeraj Chopra vs Arshad Nadeem
Neeraj Chopra is on everyone’s lips right now. Although he was in the news even before the Olympics started, but today when he is to compete tonight, everyone is talking only about Neeraj. He threw the javelin so far in the qualifying round of javelin throw, it is natural for expectations to rise even more. Neeraj Chopra remained at number one in the qualifying round, but Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem also performed well and remained at number four. Although this time Nadeem threw the javelin less far than Neeraj, but his best performance has been 90 meters, which Neeraj has not been able to throw till now.
Neeraj Chopra is number one, Arshad Nadeem is at fourth place
Talking about the qualifying round of Paris Olympics, Neeraj threw the javelin 89.34 meters, which was the highest. Peter Anderson of Grenada threw the javelin up to 88.63 meters and finished second. Weber Julian of Germany threw the javelin 87.76 meters and finished third. If we talk about Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan, he threw the javelin 86.59 meters and was fourth in this list. However, it is also important to know that athletes do not give their best in the qualifying round. They are given a mark, if the javelin reaches there then the job is done. Which was 84 meters this time. Many athletes easily crossed this. The best is saved for the final.
Neeraj Chopra’s match will start around 1 pm
India was hoping for a gold from Vinesh Phogat in wrestling and also in hockey, which has now been shattered. Now all hopes and expectations are pinned on Neeraj Chopra. Neeraj Chopra will be in action tonight at around 12:55 am. A total of 12 athletes have confirmed their place in the final. That is, roughly assume that by around 1 am, it will be known which medal Neeraj Chopra has won for India. Neeraj Chopra also won the gold medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. That is, if he wins one more gold, he will become the first athlete to do so for India. India has won back to back golds in hockey, but it has never happened that a single athlete has won gold twice in a row, in such a situation, Neeraj is just a few steps away from becoming an even bigger star for India.
