NEW DELHI: India's star javelin thrower and two-time Olympic medalist Neeraj Chopra has set new standards in Indian athletics. After clinching gold at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and silver at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Neeraj is now focused on breaking the elusive 90m barrier in javelin, a milestone achieved by only a few globally.
At the Paris Olympics, Neeraj threw 89.45m but lost to Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem, who set an Olympic record with a 92.97m throw.
