Neeraj Chopra’s ‘Golden Arm’ Scripts History in Tokyo, Wins India’s First-Ever Athletics Gold Medal at Olympics

Neeraj Chopra Wins GOLD MEDAL in Tokyo Olympics 2020 in Men’s JAVELIN With 87.58m

Neeraj Chopra ended India’s wait for an Olympic medal in track and field and he did it in style, winning the Gold medal in Men’s Javelin final at the Tokyo Olympics 2020 on Saturday.

Neeraj Chopra on Saturday achieved something which no other track and field athlete in India’s history has ever even imagined of. Even the legends like Late Milkha Singh Ji, PT Usha came fairly close to taste success at the world’s biggest sporting stage – the Olympics but faltered at the finishing line.

But Saturday was different, it had a different kind of feel to it. With over a billion hopes riding on his shoulders – sent the grey-tailed Javelin a staggering 87.58m to demolish the field in the men’s Javelin Throw Final

Interestingly, the 23-year-old Indian knew it the moment the Javelin left his “golden arm”. Neeraj turned around at his rivals, unleashed a primal roar and raised both his arms in jubilation. He was confident that the job had been done. In reality, Neeraj didn’t just win, he crushed the field, finished 91cm ahead of the rest. Neeraj’s next-best throw was more than the silver-winning distance.

Czech Republic throwers Jakub Vadlejch (86.67m) and Vitezslav Vesely (85.44m) took the silver and bronze respectively.

Neeraj’s stupendous show also helped India finish with their best-ever medal tally at the Summer Games for a nation

7 Medals – 1 GOLD, 2 SILVER and 4 BRONZE – With this, India surpassed their best performance of 2012 London Olympics.
