This time, India is eyeing to break all the old records at the Paris Olympics 2024. The country also hopes for gold from Golden Boy Neeraj Chopra, who created history at the Tokyo Olympics. However, this path is not going to be so easy for Neeraj. This time, the strongest prospective contender of winning a gold medal in Paris Olympics 2024 is none other than star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra. He brought home a gold for India in men's javelin throw at the Olympic 2020.

Neeraj Chopra is the star Indian athlete at the moment, but his path to glory in the Paris Olympics certainly isn't going to be easy. Max Dehning had created a sensation by throwing the javelin over at 90.20 meters for Germany in the month of February. He tops the list of best throws since the 2024 season commenced. He is one of the strong contenders for a gold medal this time. On the other hand, Neeraj Chopra has not been able to reach his targetted figure of 90 meters till now.

Similarly, Julian Weber and Yakub will pose tough competition against Neeraj. The name on the lips of every Indian each time the Olympic Games take place has to be Neeraj Chopra. The legendary Haryana athlete is on the way to yet another history-making one in Paris this summer. Coming off a throw of 85.97 meters that won him gold at the Opener Paavo Nurmi Games in Finland, Chopra will seek to become the first Indian athlete to win back-to-back Olympic gold in such a dominant fashion that he goes to the Games as the country's strongest even consideration for the medal, let alone gold medal.
