The Paris 2024 Olympics Record Breaking, History Making
The night of that Thursday, at the Stade de France, will live on forever. The 32-year-old not only had the longest series throw of Perera’s Spartahlon win with last weekend, but a massive personal best saw him take the Gold medal home from his fellow. Arshad Nadeem threw an Asian record distance for Javelin Throw in Taiwan- 92.97m which is also fourth-best (equal to Andrus Gritsyuk) on all-time world rankings too; and did I mention this stronger competitor achieved more throws over such proven distances recently than being performed before by anyone? But wait, that there is not all! His final throw of 91.79 metres really demonstrated everything was firing at the right time to everyone cheering so loudly!

Accustomed to his resilience & skills, Neeraj Chopra. He was never one to give up without a fight for his crown. He threw 89.34 meters in the qual round–a season’s best! And in the final, he went one better and unleashed a 89.45 meters throw that is his second best ever! However, he fell just short of overtaking Arshad’s record-breaking efforts.
A Silver Lining
Neeraj thus added another notable medal to his collection of Tokyo Olympics, World Championships at Budapest and other such big events. He is certainly among India’s greatest sportsmen!! It just… felt a little underwhelming, for some fans anyway. I mean, Neeraj has raised the bar high for himself.

Arshad Nadeem: A Path to Grafetamine
Getting Past the First Hurdle
The road that led Arshad here took him on quite a journey. He was a bit wobbly at first as some of the practice throws barely hit 75m! He got one even thrown out first time! But then boom — his second effort absolutely nailed it & he unleashed that picturesque cricket bowling style throw of his.
The Winning Throws
The 92.97-metre second throw? Total game-changer! He was an instant favorite to eek out a win. The final throw came in at 91.79 metres and it completely clinched the deal like an amazing full stop to a sentence! He had already topped the bill to win gold, and now a place in Olympic history awaited him.
Neeraj’s Challenges and Victory
Battling Injuries
Neeraj, of course had to face too many hurdles getting to Paris – a correct groin that hobbled him for years! It screwed with his training too. However, the man was so dedicated that instead of getting surgery like most folks told him to do he decided ultimately on racing! That second pass is definitely a little rough, but it really shows just how strong he is!
A Fight to the Finish
Neeraj produced a throw of 89.45 meters despite those injury concerns, displaying why everyone thinks so highly of him! But boy, did that pain make everything difficult; he could barely walk on his legs and this forced him to rely more heavily on the arm than usual. Still, his performance? Super heroic — definitely earned themselves that silver!
The India-Pakistan Rivalry
A Historic Encounter
It was more than sports — Arshad Vs Neeraj fight may well have dragged the India-Pakistan rivalry to the Paris 2024 Olympics arena!! Despite how heated things were getting, they remained super respectful during this intense competition. Pretty fly how they refer to each other as brothers in the dialog throughout this trip.
Shared Backgrounds
Well… they have a few big things in common too! They grew up on farms in rural areas so were probably more grounded than the average person. It was nice to see them go from those roots all the way up onto an Olympic podium? Dang if that isn’t inspiring.
