P.T. Usha on Neeraj Chopra's gold: This will change our sport forever

The Hindu  

He was making his Olympic debut in Tokyo but one did not notice any pressure on Neeraj Chopra's face. His smart strategy of producing a big throw at the start clearly rattled the rest of the field, including Vetter, who opened with a poor 82m, slipped and fell and messed up his next two attempts, and made an exit after just three throws. In the qualification round, too, his opening throw had silenced the rest and packed off the world's second-and third-best throwers, Poland's Marcin Krukowski and Trinidad and Tobago's 2012 Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott. Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem, who was third after the qualification round behind Neeraj and Vetter, crumbled under expectations and finished fifth.
