Today is the last day of the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Just a day before the Games, Indian athlete Neeraj Chopra ended up waiting more than 100 years by winning gold in the javelin throw competition. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Ramanath Kovind were among those who were delighted. The good thing is that this happiness was also found in the face of cricket lovers. Former India cricketers Ashish Nehra and Sunil Gavaskar, who were reacting to the first Test match between India and England, were delighted when Neeraj confirmed the gold on Saturday.

Its video is becoming viral on the social networking site. The video was shared by Sony Network on its Twitter account. In this, Gavaskar and Ashish Nehra are enjoying their match with Neeraj. After winning Neeraj Gold, Gavaskar was seen singing ‘Mere Desh Ki Dharti Sona Ugle, Ugle Hire Moti’. As soon as Jakub Wadlecht of the Czech Republic completed his final throw in the sixth round of the final, let’s just say that Neeraj knew he had won a gold medal. He was the best of all 12 contestants on the first three attempts, throwing the last of the next three attempts.

With this gold, Neeraj is now India’s second player to win a personal gold medal. Shooter Abhinav Bindra previously won the gold medal in the men’s 10 meter air rifle at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. India did not win a medal in athletics after participating in the Olympics for the first time until the 2016 Rio Olympics. Veterans Milkha Singh and PT Usha narrowly escaped in 1960 and 1984 respectively. The International Olympic Committee (IOC), which won the Norman Prichard medals in the 200m and 200m hurdles in the Paris Olympics in the name of India in 1900, is still on record, but according to various research and the International Athletics Federation (now World Athletics), he was later represented in Great Britain.
