Arshad Nadeem secures Pakistan's first Olympics gold medal since 1984
He tried... he gave it all but at the end no one could reach what Arshad Nadeem did.
Arshad Nadeem is the new Olympic champion
Silver confirmed for Neeraj but can he eye for gold with his final attempt ??
Neeraj Chopra.....ahhhhh once again its a foul throw
Another foul from Neeraj. It wasn't his best.
He only have one legitimate throw in the finals.
It's 88.72m
Not a bad throw, but for the benchmark he set in his previous throw, it's highly unlikely he can top that. But you never know
