Neeraj Chopra is the first Indian athlete to win a gold medal at the senior World Athletics Championships.<\/p>\n
The 2020 Tokyo Olympics champion registered a best throw of 88.17 metres on his second visit to the throwing arc to emerge the winner.<\/p>\n
The medal completed a very special set for the 25-year-old Indian Army soldir, who now has every major title possible in the javelin event.<\/p>\n
Besides the Olympic, World Championships and Diamond League crowns, Neeraj has the Asian Athletics Championships (2017), Asian Games (2018) and Commonwealth Games (2018) titles under his belt.<\/p>\n

After fouling his first attempt, Neeraj hurled the spear to a distance of 88.17m to take the top spot and stayed there for the remainder of the final.<\/p>\n
Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, the reigning Commonwealth Games champion, took the silver with a season’s best of 87.82m while the Czech Republic’s Jakub Vadlejch won bronze with 86.67m.<\/p>\n
