Neeraj Chopra made history on August 7, 2021 by winning India's first-ever Olympic gold medal in track & field — javelin throw (87.58m) at the Tokyo Olympics. The moment brought India to a standstill. It ended India's 121-year Olympic history without a track & field gold. Neeraj followed this with gold at the World Athletics Championship 2022 — the first Indian to win a world title in track & field.
