Neeraj Chopra made history at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics by winning India’s first gold medal in athletics, clinching the javelin throw event. His extraordinary throw of 87.58 meters not only secured him the gold but also made him a national hero overnight.

Chopra’s journey began in a small village in Haryana, where he took up javelin throwing as a teenager. Through determined training and relentless focus, he quickly rose through the ranks, earning recognition in national and international competitions.

Post-Olympics, Chopra has been an inspiration for countless young athletes, promoting sports in India and advocating for better facilities and coaching. His story emphasizes the importance of talent development and support for athletes in the country.
