Day 13 of the Paris Olympics in 2024 promises to be action-packed, with all eyes on Neeraj Chopra’s javelin throw final and the hockey team’s bronze medal match versus Spain.
On day 13 of the Paris Olympics 2024, we are about to enter the final stages of what has been an incredible international competition. Another day, another opportunity for India to add to their three medal total. Vinesh Phogat, who was one victory away from making history during the lengthy wait for a medal in the Paris Games, was disqualified from the final, a move that shocked the entire nation.The Indian fans and supporters have been feeling let down and suffering, but two things that are going to happen today could help them feel better. Neeraj Chopra is about to make history once more. He is in the Olympic final once more for the men’s javelin throw. Day 13’s Neeraj is the main attraction, although Indian golfers Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar will also be competing in the strokeplay round two. In the women’s 100-meter hurdles repechage round, Jyothi Yarraji will compete. The Indian hockey team, playing Spain for the bronze medal, will also be in action.
On Tuesday, August 6, at the Stade de France, the defending Olympic and world champion Neeraj Chopra threw 89.34 meters in the qualification round to earn a spot in the men’s javelin throw final. As he charged into the event final, this was also the throw of the season and his career’s second-best. This year, he refrained from playing in many leagues as he was determined to give it his all at the Olympics. The 26-year-old’s goal is to retain the championship he took home from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. He is the first Indian to win an Olympic medal in the athletics competition.
Neeraj, who is revered as India’s “golden boy,” has his sights set on the prize once more. And yet Neeraj, the undisputed winner in his field, may have a difficult test from Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan, Julian Weber of Germany, and Anderson Peters of Grenda.
