    Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday spoke to the Paris Olympics silver medallist javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra and hailed the sportsman spirit of his family.

    PM Modi congratulated the Olympian on bagging a silver medal in the Paris Games and also advised him to not worry about missing the gold as he has already made the nation proud with his feat.

    Neeraj, who came into the final as the favourite with a brilliant effort of 89.34 metres in the qualifying round, hurled the spear to 89.45, his second-best ever effort and a clear improvement on the 87.58 that bagged him the gold medal in Tokyo, to finish behind Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem, who won the gold medal with an Olympic record-shattering 92.97m attempt.
