He maintained that position with throws of 88,72, 79.40m, and 84.87m before finishing the competition with a throw of 91.79 meters, the second time someone crossed the 90-meter mark twice in the Olympics.
Neeraj Chopra started the final with a foul on his first attempt, Nadeem too fouled his first throw while Trinidad’s Keshorn Walcott took the lead with a throw of 86.16m while Anderson Peter was second at 84.70.
Even so, Chopra created history for India by being the third person and second male Indian to win back-to-back Olympic medals, following wrestler Sushil Kumar, who took home bronze and silver in the 2008 and 2012 Games. The second Indian to win two consecutive medals is PV Sindhu, who took home silver in Tokyo in 2016.

India won one silver, four bronze, and Neeraj’s silver medal in Paris, making it their fifth overall. It appears that the repercussions of the Indian’s injury struggles over the past several years are still present.
The javelin throw event in the Paris Olympics was so tough that Julien Webber of Germany, the silver medallist at Tokyo, had to be satisfied with a sixth place.
But Nadeem virtually killed the competition on his second turn, unleashing a monster throw of 92.97 leaving everyone in the stadium stunned. With that throw, Nadeem broke the existing Olympic Record of Andreas Thorkildsen of Norway, who threw 90.57 in Beijing 2008. It is also the sixth-best throw in the all-time list.
