<p>Kharge said on X, previously known as Twitter, that Neeraj Chopra’s “magnificent performance” had once again made India proud. We are ecstatic to see how his intelligence, commitment, and labor have now made him the first Indian to win a gold medal at the renowned World Athletics Championships and added another feather to his increasing list of magnificent accomplishments.</p>
<p>Neeraj, many congrats. May you continue to inspire young athletes as you gain strength,” the Congress leader remarked.</p>
<p>Additionally, Neeraj Chopra received praise from Rahul Gandhi, who said on Facebook: “Many congratulations to Neeraj Chopra for winning the gold medal at the World Athletics Championships.</p>
<p>“He once again brought honor to India on the global scene. Neeraj’s dedication and discipline will serve as an example for future generations of athletes in the nation, he said.</p>
<p>Additionally praising Chopra, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh tweeted, “Neeraj Chopra’s gold medal in the javelin throw was magnificent. He is a real champion outside of the track, in addition to being a world champion. Who can forget his courageous attitude when the protesting women wrestlers were dragged through the streets of the nation’s capital earlier in May this year?</p>
<p>“At the same time, our 4×400-meter relay team—Muhammed Anas Yahiya, Amoj Jacob, Muhammed Ajmal Variyathodi, and Rajesh Ramesh—performed well, winning the hearts of the people. Ramesh emphasized the performance of Indian athletes by saying, “Their performance demonstrates the spirit of: Judega Bharat, Jeetega INDIA.”</p>
<p>The comments were made after India’s Olympic gold medalist Chopra’s historic first-ever gold medal victory for her country at the World Athletics Championships on Sunday.</p>
<p>In the Hungarian capital, Chopra, who has been hampered by an ailment in recent months, destroyed the competition with a huge throw of 88.17 on his second round.</p>
<p>With a distance of 87.82, Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem won the silver medal, his nation’s first World Championship medal, while the Czech Republic’s Yakub Vadlejch held onto the bronze he earned in Oregon the year before with a distance of 86.67.</p>
