RE: Sports Comments Contest II - Your favorite Athlete
Neeraj Chopra belongs to a farmer family from the state of Haryana, India, and is 27 years old. During his early school days he worked hard on his fitness, and since winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics 2020, he has won gold in every major competition, which is an achievement for Indian athletes.
At the Asian Games in 2018, Neeraj won the gold medal with a throw of 88.06 meters. Neeraj is the first Indian to win gold at the Asian Games.
In the history of the Asian Games, India has only two medals in javelin throw. Neeraj broke his own record by throwing 88.07 meters in the Indian Grand Prix held in Patiala and created a new national record.
Two-time Olympic medalist 27-year-old Neeraj covered a distance of 90.23 meters in his third attempt at the Doha Diamond League and joined the list of many greats of the world who have thrown up to this distance.
Neeraj's best throw is yet to come. Being his fan, I am expecting better throws and medals from him in the future.
I invite @josepha, @senehasa and @jahangeerkhanday
I love this guy... He is a rare talent, and I have followed him from time to time. Especially in the last year's Olympics, I saw he had a special bond with Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem. That's what Sports are, appreciating the rivals.
Thank you for your participation. Good luck!

I am a great fan of sports especially cricket, hockey and athletics ever since I was in 5th standard. I have played badminton and chess at higher level myself. But men like Chopra and Abhinav Bindra have brought glory to my country besides having a great sportsmanship. That's what make them unique. Thanks for picking my post. I congratulate everyone on the list and wishing to see more participation.
