India had only a single individual Gold medal in its kitty till 2021 and one man was determined to change it.
Neeraj Chopra emerged as India’s first-ever medalist in the track and field event. He won the coveted Gold Medal in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. The 23-year-old made the entire country proud as he brought home only the second individual Gold medal for India. Chopra’s achievement has once again ignited the spark of ‘winning’ in Indian athletes.
