Last Saturday, the evening of 7th August was historic. On the evening of August 7, Neeraj Chopra made it memorable forever and wrote his name in the pages of history. Neeraj threw a spear for a distance of 87.58 metres to give India its first gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. He became the second Indian player to win a gold medal in an individual event. He enhanced India's glory at the Olympics and gave him a chance to live a moment of pride. Now a video is fast going viral at the moment. It depicts the moment when the tricolour was hoisted at the top of the Olympics and the national anthem was played. Neeraj Chopra stood first on the podium and the country was being filled with pride while waving the tricolour at the top.
It can be said that the hard work of year's paid off and when the national anthem echoed in the stadium, Neeraj's eyes filled. Meanwhile, the athlete was emotionally looking at the tricolour. Let me tell you all that Abhinav Bindra had earlier made India proud by winning a gold medal in the 10m air rifle event at the Beijing Olympics. This opportunity was given 12 years ago. At that time, a similar Indian stood at the top of the podium and the tricolour was waving the highest. Even at that time, the national anthem was played with innovative respect and pride.
