Who Is Neeraj Chopra

History books will remember Neeraj Chopra as the first Indian track and field athlete to clinch a gold medal at the Olympics in Tokyo 2020. His effort also helped him become only the second Indian after Abhinav Bindra to clinch a top podium finish at Olympics.
Chopra, significantly, was only 23 when he created history in Tokyo. His best effort of 87.58m not only helped him rise atop the podium but also fulfilled the dreams of 1.38 billion Indians and the late Milkha Singh who yearned for an athletic medal in Olympics.
Let us know more about the 'golden boy' of India who is the toast of the country right now:
Chopra was one of the fittest athletes on the track in Tokyo 2020. But he was not quite so when he first started. It was, in fact, his interest to become a javelin thrower that brought discipline into his life.
He was a chubby kid in 2011, when his family insisted him to join a gymnasium. Chopra would have to travel nearly 20kms away from his village Khandra to visit his gym in Panipat.
It was during this time that he came across athletes practicing at the Shivaji stadium and developed interest ...
... for javelin throw. He had, incidentally, tried out a few other disciplines, including running, but he chose to continue with javelin throw once he found out that he is good at it.
