Neeraj Chopra won India’s first ever athletics gold medal at the Olympics in the Men’s Javelin Throw event in Tokyo in 2021 (during the delayed Olympics 2020).

This was also India’s first-ever Olympics gold medal since 2008, which back then was won by the Abhinav Bindra in Beijing in the Men’s 10m air rifle shooting category.

During the 2024 Paris Olympics, Neeraj Chopra won the silver medal in Men’s Javelin Throw, and earlier this year, he was conferred with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
