‘What Neeraj Chopra has achieved […] will be remembered forever.’

-Prime Minister Narendra Modi

The long-cherished dream of a billion Indians was fulfilled on the night

of 7 August 2021 when Neeraj Chopra won a gold in javelin at the Tokyo

Olympics 2020. The wait, though, had been very long. In fact, since the

inception of the modern Olympic Games, this is India’s first individual gold

medal in athletics. When he did it in his characteristic style and smile, the

entire country showered him with love. The media went into a frenzy and

the youth found a new inspiration. People thronged to get pictures clicked

with him and brands found a new wonder-ambassador.

Neeraj Chopra: From Panipat to the Podium begins in a small village in

Panipat and recounts his formative years that were characterized by limited

means and facilities. It takes readers through his journey to Panchkula and

then to the national camp in his quest to conquer the world.
