Neeraj Chopra, India's Olympic champion, made history at the World Athletics Championships with a record-breaking gold in men's javelin throw in Budapest. Despite recent injury struggles, he secured victory with an 88.17m throw. Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem took silver (87.82m), and Czech Republic's Yakub Vadlejch held bronze (86.67m). Chopra's fellow Indian competitors, Kishore Kumar Jena (5th, 84.77m) and D.P. Manu (6th, 84.14m), performed well but missed the podium. Niraj Chopra's triumph marked India's first gold at the World Championships, while historically, no Indian male or female had claimed this honour. Chopra's early foul was followed by his winning throw, securing his prestigious victory.
