For the first time since winning a historic gold medal for India at the Tokyo Olympics in 2022, Neeraj Chopra returns to action at the Paavo Nurmi Games 2022 in Finland on Tuesday.
With a historic javelin throw of 87.58m, Chopra had become the poster boy of India and etched his name in the history books after securing India’s first-ever track and field gold at the Olympics.
Since that feat, Neeraj Chopra had been preparing overseas for the various big events later this year, and on June 14, the 24-year-old will be seen taking to the field for the first time since Tokyo 2022.
