New Delhi, December 14, 2024.
Star Indian javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra is among 23 athletes whose competition artefacts have been inducted into the World Athletics Heritage Collection, currently on display in the online 3D platform of the Museum of World Athletics (MOWA).
Chopra, who became India’s first Olympic gold medallist in athletics when he clinched the top podium finish at the Tokyo Games in 2021, has donated the competition t-shirt he wore at the Paris Games this year.
With his second round throw of 89.45m, Chopra secured the silver medal in Paris behind Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, who created an Olympic record with a 92.97m effort.
