India slept like a baby last night after Neeraj Chopra's win at the Tokyo Olympics 2020. He made history after winning the first-ever gold medal in athletics, and he put an end to the country's long wait of bringing home GOLD. Chopra's throw at the games was quite impressive. While the first throw was 87.03, he did well in his second attempt with an 87.58m throw. That was the moment the country knew the gold was coming home.
