Golden arm: on Neeraj Chopra’s win as one India’s greatest sporting successes

The Hindu  

Neeraj Chopra’s silver in men’s javelin at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, United States, marks one of India’s greatest sporting successes. Even as the celebratory euphoria over his stunning Olympic triumph from last year is yet to fully die down, Chopra produced another brilliant show to savour with his maiden podium finish at the Worlds. It is the same spirit displayed by Swedish pole-vaulter Armand Duplantis, holder of every big title and world record, who found the energy and motivation to obliterate his own best mark by scaling 6.21m in a glorious last act as the Championships drew to a close. That Chopra managed this under less-than-ideal conditions — negotiating a thigh strain and a headwind — against a formidable opponent in defending champion Anderson Peters whose opening salvo was a whopping 90.21m throw, and still came up with an effort that was better than his Olympics mark is down to his genius.
