The dynamic duo of Indian javelin, Sumit Antil and Neeraj Chopra, continue to make the nation proud with their outstanding performances on the global stage.
Antil, the reigning Paralympic champion, secured his second consecutive gold medal at the Paris Games, further cementing his dominance in the sport.
Meanwhile, Neeraj Chopra, with his historic Olympic gold in Tokyo and a silver in Paris, has brought a new era to Indian athletics.
Antil praised Chopra’s resilience, stating, "It was his season's best, and it came after he was carrying an injury. That says a lot about the man."
Both athletes once competed against each other in the Indian Grand Prix series, where Antil showcased his talent by finishing 7th among 10 able-bodied competitors, while Neeraj clinched victory.
Antil now harbours the ambitious dream of becoming the first Indian athlete to compete in both the Paralympics and the Olympics.
Inspiring a generation, these javelin stars have shown us what's possible with dedication and perseverance. 🥇💪🏻
