The prime minister inquired about Neeraj Chopra's injury and lauded the sportsman spirit shown by his mother Saroj, who congratulated Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem for setting an Olympic record by winning the gold.
Nadeem made the capacity crowd at the Stade de France gasp with awe with a massive throw of 92.97m, the sixth best in history that also bettered the existing Olympic record of 90.57m set by Andreas Thorkildsen of Norway in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
India's Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra on Monday surged to the top of the latest men's javelin throw and is the new World No.1 in the rankings issued by the World Athletics.
