What are the records that await if Neeraj Chopra wins gold at the Paris Olympics? Know in 4 points

India's last hope for a gold medal at the Paris Olympics is lying upon the shoulders of its star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra. Neera Chopra on Thursday will step onto the tracks in the Javelin Throw final event at Paris Olympics and will defend his gold medal against the best throwers in the world. The entire nation will probably be glued to the television or their phones as Neeraj Chopra tries to recreate the magic that made him the first Indian athlete to win a gold medal at the Olympics in Tokyo. Chopra has already given a glimpse of that with a monster throw on his first turn in the qualifying round, reaching 89.34 metres, a season-best for the 26-year-old from Haryana. Now, the question arises what are the list of records that Neeraj Chopra can break if he goes on to win gold at Paris Olympics? Below are Neeraj Chopra's records that he can create after winning gold at the Paris Olympics 2024- 

1. Neeraj Chopra will have a chance to become only the fifth man in Olympic javelin throw history to defend the title. The other four athletes who have successfully defended their gold at Olympics are- Eric Lemming (Sweden; 1908 and 1912), Jonni Myyra (Finland; 1920 and 1924), Jan Zelezny (Czech Republic; 1992, 1996 and 2000), and Andreas Thorkildsen (Norway; 2004 and 2008). 
2. If Neeraj Chopra wins gold, and for that matter a medal at Paris Olympics, he will become the most decorated Indian in Olympics in individual sport. Currently, 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.
3. If Neeraj Chopra wins today, it will add the first gold in India's medal tally at the Paris Olympics 2024. 
4. If Neeraj Chopra wins gold at the Paris Olympics, it will make him the first Indian athlete to win multiple individual gold medals at the Olympics
