With this silver, Neeraj Chopra became the fourth Indian athlete to clinch two Olympic medals in individual sport. Shuttler PV Sindhu (one silver, one bronze), wrestler Sushil Kumar (one silver, one bronze) and shooter Manu Bhaker (two bronze) have won two Olympic medals each post Independence. Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem came up with a sensational record Olympic throw of 92.97 metres in his second attempt to dethrone defending champion Neeraj.
