Chopra, 26, fell short of retaining his gold medal, finishing with a best throw of 89.45 meters. Despite a strong performance on his second attempt, he struggled with four consecutive foul throws, which prevented him from winning gold. Chopra became the second male athlete from post-independence India to win two Olympic medals in an individual event. Chopra’s first and third attempts were invalidated by red flags, and his final three attempts were fouls. Despite a strong performance in the qualification round with a throw of 89.34 meters, his 89.45-meter throw was not enough to retain his gold.
Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan won gold with a throw of 92.97 meters, breaking the mark established by Denmark’s Andreas Thorkildsen in Beijing 2008 and creating a new Olympic record. Anderson Peters of Grenada won bronze with an 88.54-meter throw. Neeraj said he was disappointed with his performance after failing to defend his gold medal.
