After sharing his love for shoes with us, it was time to address the most glorious win of his life. His victory at the 2020 Olympics put him on the map and gave him immense popularity in the country. Since that day, each and every Indian knows of the gold medalist Neeraj Chopra. Aren’t you curious to know more about the moment he won that medal? Well, we were, and we asked him to describe in detail everything that went on that day.

He shared that winning the most honourable award in sports is every athlete’s dream, and that day, his dream came true. He revealed that his parents were at home in Haryana and watched him win on television. We didn’t even get the chance to talk to them until much later. His family even hosted 25-30 thousand people in their village and treated them to prasad to celebrate his win. This recognition made him immensely happy.
