    Milkha Singh, PT Usha, Anju Bobby Geroge, they all represented India in different Olympic events but have one thing in common. They all came close to winning an Olympic medal but fell agonisingly short, losing on to a podium finish by a whisker.

    After a series of heartbreaks and decades of drought, the moment has finally arrived when a track and field athlete from Indian could call himself an Olympic champion and this long-standing dream has been turned into reality by star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, who struck gold by hurling his javelin at a distance 87.58m, giving Indian its moment of glory that millions of Indians have been waiting for since ages.

    With this triumph, Neeraj became only the second Indian athlete to win an individual Olympic gold medal, joining shooter Abhinav Bindra in the elite club who had won a gold in 10-meter air rifle event at the 2008 Beijing Games.

    Delighted with Neeraj’s achievement, Bindra was among the first persons to congratulate the 23-year-old athlete from Haryana on the micro-blogging site. 
    And Gold it is for @Neeraj_chopra1 .Take a bow, young man ! You have fulfilled a nation's dream. Thank you!
    Also, welcome to the club - a much needed addition! Extremely proud. I am so delighted for you.

    “And Gold it is for @Neeraj_chopra1.Take a bow, young man ! You have fulfilled a nation's dream. Thank you! Also, welcome to the club - a much needed addition! Extremely proud. I am so delighted for you,” Bindra wrote in Twitter. 
    As the country celebrated the historic achievement, the social media platform was flooded with congratulatory messages. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said history has been created in Tokyo and his achievement will be cherished forever by each and every Indian.
