Discipline and Hard Work brought me here, says gold medallist Neeraj Chopra

India's Top Javelin Thrower Neeraj Chopra, Tokyo Olympics 2021: Neeraj Chopra wins historic athletics gold as India record best ever haul of 7 medals.

Neeraj Chopra's incredible story. His family pushed him to participate in sports since they believed he needed to reduce weight. After a few years, he is headed to Tokyo 2020, where he hopes to earn a medal.

India would agree that the Olympics were unlike any other, as debutant javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra shattered several glass ceilings to become the country's first gold medalist in 13 years, his stupendous performance making it the best ever Games for a nation starved for success at the grandest sporting spectacle. With Chopra's gold on the final day of competition, India finished with a total of seven medals, including two silver and four bronze, the last of which was given by superstar wrestler Bajrang Punia on the final day of competition.
