Pakistan-India javelin rivalry between Arshad Nadeem and Neeraj Chopra draws fans from subcontinent

Associated Press  

SAINT-DENIS., France — The heated rivalry in cricket has been well documented. “God indeed made it an Olympic record.” It was the first ever gold medal in track and field for Pakistan which, along with India, can contend for gold in cricket four years from now when that sport joins the Olympic program in Los Angeles. “ Chopra became a superstar in India when he won India’s first ever gold medal in track and field three years ago. “It’s never been a sport that’s been very big and he’s captured the imagination of a lot of people to look at javelin again,” said Varun Mathur, who traveled from London on Thursday morning with his partner, Sujata Ravi, to see Chopra. “There would be no shortage of people watching the Olympics, that’s for sure,” said Pranay Dey, a 30-year-old from Delhi who is a breast cancer researcher at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
