Can India Win Anymore Medals At Paris Olympics After Neeraj Chopra Misses Out On Gold?

There were a lot of expectations surrounding Neeraj Chopra to retain his Gold Medal at the Paris Olympics as he was considered to be one of the favourites in men's Javelin. However, Neeraj Chopra missed out on Gold this time and had to settle for a Silver Medal with a throw of 89.45m. 

Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem denied Neeraj Chopra of his Gold Medal as he threw an Olympic record 92.97m. As India's best hopes for a Gold Medal ended with a Silver it is almost certain barring a miracle that India will be returning home from the Paris Olympics without a Gold Medal.
