'Golden throw' Neeraj Chopra wins gold in men's javelin throw!
Tokyo Olympics 2020: Neeraj Chopra has won GOLD in men's javelin throw at Olympic Games. With this, he has become the first Indian athlete to win gold ever. He had entered the finals with a stunning throw of 86.65m in his opening attempt that put him on top of the qualification round on Wednesday. In the finals, he covered his highest throw of 87.58m (in the second of six attempts). The big relief came for India when gold medal favourite and 2017 world champion Vetter Johannes was out of the game after the third round, with his final best 82.52m. Vetter had thrown seven times over 90m between April and June, including a season's best of 96.29m. But in the finals, he finished down in ninth. After losing in the finals, Vetter said that it was a tough competition and that he was having problems not over-running his launch on the surface. "If you watch the throws again, you can see it's not the right surface for me. It's a good surface for all the runners, for all the nice world records and Olympic records on the track, but not for a javelin thrower like me. So it really makes me sad," he said. We all are proud of you. Congratulations from CentrioTech
