Tokyo: Thrower Thrower Neeraj Chopra on Sunday said that he was still processing the feeling of winning gold for India at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics.
“Still processing this feeling.
To the whole India and so on, thank you very much for your support and blessings that have helped me reach this stage.
This moment will live with me forever,” Tweeted Chopra.
Neeraj Chopra on Saturday threw Javelin to a distance of 87.58 million to choose gold at the Olympics.
He started his search for a medal with a massive throw of 87.03 meters and led the package after the end of the first attempt.
He is better with a second male 87.58m.
While Neeraj cannot increase further, it is enough to make a medal that is coveted.
He is now the second Indian after Abhinav Bindra won a gold medal in an individual event.
Neeraj then said that he wanted to dedicate his medal at the Tokyo Olympics to track and legend Milkha Singh and PT Usha.
Milkha Singh, who died earlier this year, always has this dream to see a athlete winning a gold medal at the Olympics.
Previously, PT Usha approached winning a medal at the 1984 Olympics, but she was missed by the mustache.
“Milkha Singh has this dream of an Indian athlete who won a medal in athletics at the Olympics, he always wanted to win gold gold, now he was not here with us.
He would feel proud if he was here.
If I can leave to him.
I will dedicate this medal to Him and PT Usha.
PT Usha has been left behind by a medal by a mustache, I think his dream has also been fulfilled, “Neeraj told Ani.
India has now won seven medals in a multi-sports event, the best performances.
At the Tokyo 2020 ongoing, Bajrang Punia (Bronze), Mirabai Chanu (Perak), PV Sindhu (Bronze), Lovlina Borghain (Bronze), Men’s Hockey (Bronze), and Ravi Kumar Dahiya (Perak) also won a medal.
