Answer:
Neeraj has also done something, technically not achieved by any Indian athlete since 1900 - win an Olympics athletics medal. Norman Pritchad had won two silver medals, representing India in the 1900 Paris Olympics in the 200m dash and 200m hurdles. IOC still credits these medals to India.The enormity of this achievement will take some time to sink in for everyone. The 23 year old Neeraj began with a bang. His first throw was 87.03m. That was followed by a throw of 87.58m. His third attempt saw Neeraj throw the javelin 76.79m. With this he topped the standings out of 12 throwers and made the cut for the final 8, who threw thrice again.Neeraj's fourth throw was a no throw. This was followed by another no throw, but he still held on to the lead. By the time he came out for his 6th throw, he already had the gold medal in the bag. He still took the throw and registered a distance of 84.24m.The gold medal winning throw was his second throw of 87.58m. Though, no one else went past the 87m mark, which Neeraj had crossed with his first throw.
What an incredible way for India to end their Tokyo Olympics campaign - saving the best for last.
