Neeraj Chopra etched his name in the history books on Sunday, becoming the first Indian to win a gold medal at the World Athletics Championships. In the men's javelin throw final in Budapest, Chopra's second attempt of 88.13m remained the farthest, sealing his triumph. The Olympic gold medallist significantly improved upon his silver at the 2022 Worlds. After a lackluster first throw, Chopra unleashed his best on the second attempt, celebrating in style even before the javelin landed. Riding massive crowd support, he dominated the field which included compatriot Arshad Nadeem from Pakistan who took silver.
