Golden boy Neeraj Chopra replicates his javelin throw underwater in Maldives - Watch
Neeraj Chopra
Neeraj Chopra became the darling of the nation ever since the 23-year-old brought the country its first-ever Olympic medal in athletics by winning gold in the men's javelin throw final in Tokyo 2020. Since then, Neeraj has been in demand and extremelybusy with several commercial commitments and various interactions on public platforms.
As a result, the javelin thrower is now on a much-needed break and has travelled to Maldives -- a popular spot for various celebrities worldwide -- for a vacation. However, seems like javelin is still in Neeraj's mind as he shared a video of replicating his javelin throw underwater.
He captioned the post,"Aasman par, zameen pe, ya underwater, I'm always thinking of the javelin!". In addition, he hilariously stated that he has started to train already. He wrote, "PS: Training shuru ho gayi hai" withAR Rehman's version of the patriotic song 'Vande Mataram' being played in the background.
