HISTORY SCRIPTED IN TOKYO BY NEERAJ CHOPRA WITH GOLD MEDAL IN TRACK AND FIELD AS WELL AS MEN'S HOCKEY TEAM WITH BRONZE MEDAL VICTORY
A plump kid took to athletics to lose weight and ended up being India's first track-and-field Olympic Gold medallist and become India's second ever individual Olympic gold medallist after shooter Abhinav Bindra.. Sounds like a fairy tale? That's Neeraj Chopra's life actually, all of 23 and a superstar, or dare one say a messiah, that Indian athletics had been waiting for over a century. On August 8, 2021 with his javelin in hand, Chopra was nothing short of a rockstar at Tokyo's Olympic stadium, which should have been full to capacity to watch his genius unfold but had just a handful officials and coaches to cheer him on thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. The gold was sealed with the 87.58 m throw, which was just his second of the final round.
Indian men's Hockey team defeated Germany 5-4 in the Bronze medal match on August 5, 2021 to end a 41 year wait for an Olympic medal in Hockey. The last time India had won a medal in hockey was at the 1980 Moscow Games where they got the gold. This poster is self initiative project to tribute the 'Golden Boy and Dream Team'.
Thank You!
