Neeraj Chopra spoke like few people do after winning silver, certainly so if you're an Indian.

On the pain of Neeraj Chopra, the silver medallist.

For now, about his throws as they are, he has a question.

“Aap khush ho na (you’re happy, right?)”

If Tokyo came as a surprise, Paris was a statement. Three years ago was no flash in the pan, and Indian hockey is warming up to its consistent medal winning ways again at the Olympics.

"You just knew he'd do it. Because he's that good."

The efforts of a newsroom that stayed at work till 2am to put this together, with @RutvickMehta's exceptional efforts from Paris.

A practice Sarabjot Singh strictly follows is jotting down thoughts in a diary. He does it daily before going to bed at 9:30pm, writing what he did well on the day and what he could do better | @RutvickMehta
