This Is How Neeraj Chopra Found His Love For Javelin
He opened up about being a big foodie and how much he adores the regional desi food from his village in Haryana. Naturally, he enjoys street food as well, but he does not frequently partake. Neeraj Chopra, a gold medalist athlete, acknowledged that, despite learning about the javelin much later in life, he had always been interested in sports.
As a kid, indulging in sports with his friends was Neeraj’s favourite pass time. Speaking of how he first became interested in javelin throwing, he recalled visiting a stadium to participate in some fitness-related sports and observing some of his friends throwing the javelin there. He became aware of his passion for it at that point and resolved to turn it into a significant accomplishment.
