Neeraj Chopra, India's Olympic gold medalist and former world champion, produced another jaw-dropping moment in 2025 when he launched the javelin 90.23 meters, breaking his own Indian national record. The throw came in a competition where he had already opened with a world-leading mark of 88.44 meters before surpassing himself on his third attempt.
The 90-meter barrier is considered an elite benchmark in javelin throwing, achieved by only a handful of athletes in history. Chopra's consistency at the highest level has inspired a generation of Indian athletes and sparked unprecedented interest in track and field across the country. "Every throw is a chance to push the limits," Chopra said after the competition.
“23 meters, breaking his own Indian national record.”
