Suspense Crime Sach Ka Dam
Year Ender: Neeraj Chopra, who is the biggest star of Indian athletics, continued his amazing performance in 2024 as well. Although he was not able to defend the gold medal and cross the 90 meter distance in the Paris Olympics, his performance was still excellent. 26-year-old Neeraj Chopra won the silver medal at the Paris Olympics, where he finished second behind Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem. Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem won the gold medal by setting a new record of 92.97 meters. Apart from this, Chopra also finished second in the prestigious Diamond League Final, although his goal was to cross the 90 meter distance, which he could not complete despite coming close twice this year. His best performance was 89.94 meters. Next year he will try to achieve this goal.
Very troubled by injury
However, one important thing about Chopra’s achievements is that he achieved all these successes despite being injured. Before the Paris Olympics, he was suffering from a thigh muscle strain and his left hand was also injured before the Diamond League final. Despite this, his hard work and struggle brought him success despite these difficulties.
How did the other players perform?
Talking about the performance of other Indian athletics players this year, Avinash Sable, who won medals in the Asian Games and Commonwealth Games in 3000m steeplechase, finished 11th in the Paris Olympics and failed to advance. Long jumper Murali Sreeshankar could not participate in the Olympics due to knee injury and surgery. At the same time, the men’s 400m relay team could not even qualify for the final, which was a big disappointment for the Athletics Federation of India.
However, this year also saw some good records. Sable set a new national record in the 3000m steeplechase at the Paris Diamond League, while Akshdeep Singh, Gulvir Singh, KM Diksha, and Abha Khatua set new national records in their respective events. These records have given a new direction to Indian athletics, and it is expected that in the coming times more players will bring glory to India at the national and international level.
