Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday congratulated Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra for breaching the 90-metre mark in javelin throw during the Doha Diamond League 2025. The Prime Minister praised Chopra for achieving his personal best with a throw of 90.23 metres, calling it a reflection of the athlete’s relentless dedication, discipline, and passion.
In a post on X, the Prime Minister said, “A spectacular feat! Congratulations to Neeraj Chopra for breaching the 90 m mark at Doha Diamond League 2025 and achieving his personal best throw. This is the outcome of his relentless dedication, discipline and passion. India is elated and proud.”
Chopra’s historic throw made him the first Indian to cross the 90-metre milestone in javelin, setting a new national record in the process. The throw earned him a second-place finish at the prestigious international event, narrowly missing gold to Germany’s Julian Weber, who recorded a throw of 91.06 metres in the final round.
