PV Sindhu Praises Neeraj Chopra for Silver at 2024 Paris Olympics
Indian badminton star PV Sindhu praised javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra for winning a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She posted a picture and a message on social media, celebrating Chopra’s gold and silver medal victories in consecutive Olympics.
PV Sindhu’s Message: “Gold and silver in back-to-back Olympics is a special achievement, Neeraj! We are all so proud of you. Are we possibly witnessing one of the all-time great sportsmen from India dominate his sport like no other? I definitely think so.”
Chopra secured silver with a best throw of 89.45 meters, becoming the second male athlete from post-independence India to win two Olympic medals in an individual event. His best throw came on his second attempt, but he struggled with four consecutive foul throws, preventing him from winning gold.
Meanwhile, PV Sindhu, who won a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics and a bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, did not win a medal this time. She lost in the women’s singles Round of 16 to China’s He Bing Jiao, marking the first time she failed to win an Olympic medal.
