Neeraj Chopra ne Bharatiya athletics ke liye ek aitihaasik lamha banaya, unhone Budapest, Hungary mein aayojit Vishva Athletics Championships mein purush javelin throw pratiyogita mein sona padak jita. ‘Bharatiya athletics ke sona munda’ ne apne naam ko itihaas mein khaas sthaan diya, jab unhone is mahatvapurn championship mein Bharat ke pehle khiladi ban kar sona padak jeet liya.
Neeraj Chopra ki anokhi uplabdhi ne 28 August ke subah ke palon mein prakat hui, jab unhonne duniya bhar ke pratidvandiyon ke saath mukabla kiya. Asardar kabiliyat ka pradarshan karte hue, unhone apni doosri koshish mein 88.17 meter ki shandar fek darj ki, jisse unhone poora pratyogita ke dauraan apni prabalata ko dridh kiya.
Ye adbhut pradarshan ne sirf Neeraj ko sona padak nahi dilaya balki use vishwa mein Bharatiya khel ke liye ek rasta prashast karne wale ke roop mein bhi sthapit kiya.
Pakistan ke Arshad Nadeem, ek aur pratibhagat pratidvandi, Neeraj ke pradarshan ko kareeb se gira hua tha, unke paas ek chandi padak tha. Nadeem ne pehle Commonwealth Games mein chamak dikhayi thi, aur unhone 87.82 meter ki prashansaniya fek darj ki.
Podium ki teesri jagah par Czech Republic ke Jakub Vadlejch ne apni kabiliyat ko dikhate hue 86.67 meter ki sarvashreshth fek darj ki.
Neeraj ke pita Satish Kumar, apne bete ke pradarshan se saakshi, ANI se kaha, “Ye hamare desh ke liye ek bahut garv bhara lamha hai kyunki hamein World Championship mein bhi ek sona padak mila. Hum Neeraj Bharat lautkar aane par tyohaar karenge.”
Jaise hi Neeraj ki aitihaasik vijay ki khabar faili, har taraf se badhaai sandesh aaye. Unmein se jin logon ne is vijay ki khushi manayi, unmein se ek tha Bharat ke Yuva Karyakram aur Khel Mantri, Anurag Thakur, jo Neeraj ke yogdaan ko Bharatiya khel itihaas ka ek mahatvapurn lamha ke roop mein sammanit kiya. Unhone social media par jakar apna garv aur khiladi ke adbhut pradarshan ke liye apni prashansa vyakt ki.
