Description

‘What Neeraj Chopra has achieved […] will be remembered forever.’
—Prime Minister Narendra Modi
The long-cherished dream of a billion Indians was fulfilled on the night
of 7 August 2021 when Neeraj Chopra won a gold in javelin at the Tokyo
Olympics 2020. The wait, though, had been very long. In fact, since the
inception of the modern Olympic Games, this is India’s first individual gold
medal in athletics. When he did it in his characteristic style and smile, the
entire country showered him with love. The media went into a frenzy and
the youth found a new inspiration. People thronged to get pictures clicked
with him and brands found a new wonder-ambassador.
Neeraj Chopra: From Panipat to the Podiumbegins in a small village in
Panipat and recounts his formative years that were characterized by limited
means and facilities. It takes readers through his journey to Panchkula and
then to the national camp in his quest to conquer the world.
