The ace javelin thrower won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics last year, storming into the record books when he became the first Indian athlete to win an Olympic gold. He continued his good form into the World Championships where won the silver medal, the second Indian winner to finish on the podium at the World Championships after Anju Bobby George's bronze medal in the 2003 edition. Given his form, he was touted to defend his Commonwealth Games title, however, an injury forced him out of the prestigious quadrennial event. The Indian then returned to win the Diamond League finals in Zurich earlier this month, adding another feather to his cap by becoming the first Indian to win a Diamond League trophy. The only half-finished job Neeraj now has is to breach the coveted 90m mark, considered the gold standard in javelin throw. He also looks good to be a medal contender at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
