Neeraj Chopra: The first ever Indian to win a Gold at the World Athletics Championships

Neeraj Chopra’s remarkable journey unfold once again. Just like his Tokyo Olympics triumph, Neeraj dominated the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, bringing home India’s first-ever gold medal with an astonishing javelin throw of 88.17m! 🥇

Neeraj’s consistency and determination are truly inspiring. From the start, it was evident that he followed the script to the tee. With his second attempt, he sealed the deal and etched his name in history. His performance may have been predictable, but it was the mark of a true champion.

But Neeraj wasn’t the only Indian making waves on the big stage. Kishore Jena and DP Manu showcased their talent as well, finishing fifth and sixth respectively. With a personal best throw of 84.77m, Jena left a lasting impression, while Manu’s best throw was 84.14m. 🇮🇳💪

Neeraj’s golden set was incomplete without the World Championships gold, and he fulfilled this dream in style. His second attempt saw the javelin soar to a staggering 88.17m, securing his place in history as India’s first-ever World Athletics Championships gold medallist. 🌟✨

Interestingly, Neeraj’s second throw was launched a few meters behind the foul line, indicating that he had even more potential to unleash. The 25-year-old phenom continues to accumulate an impressive collection of gold medals, including those from the Olympics, Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, U-20 World Championships, and the Diamond League. 🏅🌎
