so logically Nadeem is better. I read Nadeem has hit 90m before too.

 

Hit 90m again. Not even possible apparently for freak of nature Neeraj

He deserves it.He looks like a very nice guy too.Very humble not that he needs to be.

 

 

 

I know …I’ve seen his social msg… he’s good guy..well done from him. 2 times over 90 …well deserved! Well done by Neeraj as well !

Yes, he is till today Neeraj was doing better in big spots.

 

But he has blown that also, he will end up as better javelin thrower than Neeraj  in history.

Neeraj Chopra true hero. Silver to follow Gold. What's more: he got his season's best. He did all he can to win. Nadeem was just too good, can't do much.

Personal best are like individual highest score in cricket. Doesn't necessarily mean one is better than the other. Having said that Nadeem at his best is better than Neeraj. But Neeraj is more consistent.

 

This sport rewards highest than consistent it seems.

No. Nadeem wasn't that good at that time 

[Cricketics]

Well done Nadeem. Congrats.

 

 

Well done Neeraj as well for being consistent over the years. Back to back medals coming from an Indian is a rarity. 

[rangeelaraja]

Neeraj had all the financial resources, best training, support.

 

Nadeem had greater abilty - sad but true.

 

We deserved better than Bronze in hockey though.

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

He secured a medal with his second throw. So he had no risk going harder. 

[The Hound]

91.79 last throw.... This was his day totally

[nevada]

Damn it, our only hope for gold is also gone. Just not his day, still ended up with silver, so it's not all doom and gloom.

[Number]

6h attempt me 91.79 WTH

yep, it seems we hyped Neeraj way too much. Bettered twice is embarassing.

not really.

 

nerraj has an olympics gold, silver and a world championship gold, silver too. nadeem was in those as well.

[adi B]

Chopra looks disappointed but he should be happy ,beaten comfortably by Nadeem but Still back to back Olympic medal is something to be proud of

[vvvslaxman]

What is next guys? I am talking about olympics. NOt just Indian olympics.
