Indian Opinion Analysis

Neeraj Chopra’s performance continues to uphold India’s presence on the global athletics stage despite narrowly missing out on first place for the third consecutive year at the Diamond League Finals.His consistency underlines India’s growing competitiveness in javelin throwing-an arena historically dominated by nations like Germany and trinidad & Tobago.
