Following Neeraj Chopra’s remarkable achievement at the Paris Olympics, where he secured a silver medal in the men’s javelin throw, President Droupadi Murmu and several key Indian leaders expressed their admiration and pride for the athlete’s exceptional performance.
Neeraj Chopra, who had previously won gold at the Tokyo Olympics, managed a best throw of 89.45 meters in Paris. Although this wasn’t enough to retain his gold medal, it still marked a significant achievement as he became the second male athlete from post-independence India to win two Olympic medals in an individual event.
President Murmu’s Tribute: President Droupadi Murmu took to social media to congratulate Neeraj Chopra, emphasizing the significance of his accomplishment.
She stated, “Heartiest congratulations to Neeraj Chopra on winning the silver medal in the Paris Olympics and scripting history. He is the first Indian athlete to win a gold and a silver medal in two successive Olympic Games. India is proud of him. His feat will inspire generations to come. India looks forward to Neeraj Chopra bringing home more medals and glory in the future.”
Other Leaders Praise Neeraj: Union Minister Nitin Gadkari also praised Chopra, highlighting the javelin thrower’s dedication and skill. “Your relentless dedication and exceptional skill have once again brought glory to India. May your achievement inspire future generations and continue to shine brightly on the global stage,” he said.
Kiren Rijiju, the Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, shared the pride of the nation by posting a video of Chopra’s medal-winning throw on social media, celebrating his impressive 89.45-meter throw.
Chopra’s Performance Overview: Despite the strong second attempt, Chopra faced challenges throughout the competition, with four of his six attempts resulting in fouls. His performance was impressive, but ultimately not enough to secure another gold, as Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem took the top spot with a throw of 92.97 meters.
