NEW DELHI: "You're a true champion", President of India, Ram Nath Kovind, on Sunday said in his congratulatory message to Neeraj Chopra for winning silver medal in men's javelin throw at World Athletics Championships.
The 24-year-old Tokyo Olympics gold medallist, Chopra, scripted history by becoming only the second Indian and first male track and field athlete from the country to win a medal at the World Championships. Long-jumper Anju Bobby George was until now the only Indian to have won a medal at the World Championships.
