Lara Dutta captioned all her stories, “The man of the hour!! @neeraj__chopra!! It was incredible to watch him and @arshadnadeem29 compete yesterday!! Champions all round!!” Check out here:
For the unversed, Neeraj missed out on gold but still gave one of the best throws of 89.45 meters. His four consecutive foul throws largely affected his chances of taking the top spot which fell in the fate of Arshad Nadeem. The Pakistani achiever won the gold with a throw of 92.97 meters and saw a global sea of appreciation coming his way including Neeraj’s mother.
Saroj Devi told ANI, “We are very happy with the silver, the one who got gold is also our child and the one who got silver is also our child. All are athletes, all work hard. Nadeem is also good, he plays well, and there is no difference between Neeraj and Nadeem. We got gold and silver there is no difference for us.”
