India’s Neeraj Chopra secured a historic silver medal in javelin at the Paris Olympics this week, adding to his gold from the previous Games in Tokyo. His silver stands as India’s only second-place finish in this edition (alongside five bronze), with the nation still awaiting a decision on Vinesh Phogat’s appeal. The wrestler requested for a joint silver after she was disqualified from the gold medal bout due to being overweight by a mere 100 grams.
