When it comes to Javelin in India, there is no bigger name than Neeraj Chopra as the man has brought glory on several occasions which includes his recent gold medal win at the World Athletics Championships. While many know him as India's first track and field athlete to claim an Olympic gold, there's much more to this exceptional athlete.

Born on December 24, 1997, in Khandra village, Haryana, Chopra hails from an agricultural family. His humble beginnings and strong family support have been a driving force throughout his athletic career. He's currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts from Lovely Professional University in Jalandhar.

Today, Chopra is as fit as a fiddle but that was not the case when he was around 10-12 years. Like every child's story, one's grandmother loves to feed dishes and Chopra loved the food prepared by her. He was 90 kgs and it was his uncle who helped him lose weight.

Chopra is coached by Klaus Bartonietz, a German biomechanics expert who has worked with several Olympic and world champions in javelin throw. He was previously coached by Uwe Hohn, the only man to throw over 100 meters in javelin throw history.

Chopra grabbed global attention when he broke the world record at the World U-20 Championships in 2016. He threw 85.94m. From there on, it has only been an uphill climb in the international arena.

Chopra is the first Asian athlete to win an Olympic gold medal in javelin throw and the first such Asian to win gold at the World Championship. He won the silver medal at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene, USA, and the gold medal at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

He is a vegetarian and follows a strict diet regimen to maintain his fitness and performance. Chopra avoids junk food, sweets and oily food and prefers to eat home-cooked meals. He also drinks a lot of water and juices to stay hydrated.

Chopra is a Junior Commissioned Officer Subedar (JCO) in the Indian Army, serving in the 4 Rajputana Rifles unit since 2016. He has been conferred with the Param Vishisht Seva Medal (PVSM) and the Vishisht Seva Medal (VSM) by the President of India for his outstanding achievements in sports.

He has a passion for cars & bikes and owns several luxury vehicles. The fleet of mean machines owned by Chopra includes a Ford Mustang GT, a Range Rover Sport, a Harley Davidson 1200 Roadster, and two customised Mahindra SUVs.
