Neeraj Chopra scripts history as he wins gold at 2023 World Athletics Championships, see pictures

Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra added yet another feather to his cap. He won India's first ever athletics World Championships gold and we cannot stay calm. He started off with a foul throw in the final in Budapest. However, it was his second throw that turned out to be the winning one as he managed to get the javelin to a distance of 88.17m. It helped him stay ahead of Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem, who also made history for his country by winning silver and Czech Republich's Jakub Vadlejch who clinched bronze. At 25, Chopra promises he is just getting started. He has managed to be in the top 3 at any major event he has been to. An Olympic champion, World champion, Commonwealth Games champion, Asian Games champion, Diamond League trophy winner and more, Chopra is truly the centre of everyone's attention. The gold in Budapest was his second World's medal, after a silver last year.
