Neeraj Chopra Scripts History, Wins India s First Gold Medal in World Athletics Championships

Neeraj Chopra scripted history on Sunday as he became the first Indian to win a gold medal in the World Athletics Championships. The 24-year-old javelin thrower produced a best throw of 88.17m to finish ahead of Jakub Vadlejch of Czech Republic (86.67m) and Anderson Peters of Grenada (86.64m) in the final in Budapest.

Chopra had entered the final as the favorite after winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics last year. He had also won gold at the 2018 Asian Games and the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

In the final, Chopra started with a throw of 87.03m. He then improved his mark to 88.17m in his second attempt, which was enough to secure the gold medal. He fouled his third and fourth attempts.
