not good enough plus 3 fouls

Neeraj winning gold was always depending on others not crossing 90 as his ceiling is below 90.

Neeraj has already bettered his 2021 throw.

 

Exactly, he has done well. Just beating that 92 m mark has got to his rhythm.

With 3 fouls too. Not good enough.

 

4 fouls. But last 3 are in quest of performing beyond his ability. If the first spot is 3 meter away from your record then you have to do something extraordinary.

This is such a wrong mindset. Why is it so hard to praise Nadeem?

Yes, it was. Nadeem has more 90 plus throws than Neeraj too.

Yes bottling under that pressure with not even legal throws

That is called choking under pressure. Atleast make legal throws.

[Chakdephatte]

Has the Javelin changed from last time? 

 

Neeraj's Olympic record has been bettered four times in this final alone.

alongwith 3 fouls

If someone gives their best and its still not enough, that's not a choke. Choke would be failing to throw 87 here

[Lord]

Be calm Neeraj

It doesn't work like that. They foul intentionally to not register the throw

3 fouls is choking

He never crossed 90m , him winning gold was always subject to others also not crossing 90.Nadeem did and he is winning it.

I think last time was relatively low scoring event

Most throws are not even legal. Hows that giving best. Gave best in only one throw.

[9zaesm]

Looks nervous

This is not bottling under pressure. This is not one on one sports. You have to perform outside your ability. How can you do it ?
