Neeraj Chopra, who belongs to 4 Rajputana Rifles, initially took to the javelin to lose weight. Now, he's earned India's first Olympics gold in athletics.
President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi also hailed the young javelin thrower's 'unparalleled grit' for the landmark gold-winning feat at the Tokyo Games.
For javelin throwers, a serious injury that needs a surgery to the throwing arm would have simply meant the end of a career. But not for Neeraj Chopra.
