He also won the gold medal at the Asian Games held in Jakarta, Indonesia, where he threw the spear to a distance of 88.06 meters, which was also a new national record.
Neeraj’s performance at the international level has made him one of the most promising athletes in India. His dedication and hard work have earned him several accolades and awards, including the Arjuna Award and the Padma Shri. He is also a role model for many young athletes who aspire to achieve success in the field of sports.
Neeraj’s latest win at the Federation Cup athletics championship has once again proved his mettle and has raised hopes for his performance at the Tokyo Olympics, which are scheduled to be held later this year.
