Reigning Olympic champion javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra recently scripted history as he clinched the silver medal with an 88.13m throw at the World Athletics Championships here on Saturday (Sunday morning in India).
After clinching the silver, Chopra became the first man and the second Indian to win a medal at the world championships since Anju Bobby Gerage won bronze in the women's triple jump event in 2003 in Paris.
