Gold eluded defending champion Neeraj Chopra, who finished with a silver in the men's javelin throw event at the Olympics. His remarkable performance of 89.45m came in the second round, ultimately falling short.

Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem dominated the competition, setting a new Games record with a monster throw of 92.97m.

Chopra, who clinched gold in Tokyo with a throw of 87.58m, found his effort bested by Nadeem's historic second attempt, which is the sixth-longest throw ever recorded.

The previous Olympic record of 90.57m, set by Norway's Andreas Thorkildsen in 2008, was also shattered by Nadeem, who concluded his series with another impressive throw of 91.79m.
