When is Neeraj Chopra's next event? Well, this might be a question which hovers around in the minds of fans after the Paris Olympics 2024 came to an end.

Neeraj Chopra's silver was India's one and only silver medal at the Paris Olympics 2024, and later, the star javelin thrower expressed disappointment with his performance, vowing to make a stronger comeback.
