Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised star athlete Neeraj Chopra for winning a silver medal in the men's javelin throw event in Paris on Thursday night and becoming the third Indian to claim medals in back-to-back Olympics.

Neeraj, who won the gold medal in Tokyo, came up with his second-best-ever throw of 89.45 metres in the only legal throw he managed in the final in Paris as Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem set a new Olympic Record with a gigantic effort of 92.97 to win the gold medal,

The Prime Minister said the country was elated that Neeraj will be coming back from Paris with another Olympic medal.
