India’s Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra has once again scripted history as he has been nominated for the prestigious Laureus World Sports Awards 2022.

Chopra is the third Indian athlete to be nominated for a Laureus Award, after wrestler Vinesh Phogat in 2019 and cricket maestro Sachin Tendulkar.

Chopra, won gold medal in the men’s javelin in Tokyo Olympic with a throw of 87.58 metres in his second attempt.

Chopra said: “I’m delighted to be nominated for this Laureus Award and it’s a great honour for me to be recognised in the wider sporting world for what I achieved in Tokyo.”

“From being a kid in a small village in rural India who only took up sport to get fit, to standing on top of an Olympic podium, it’s been quite an eventful journey so far.

“I feel privileged to be able to represent my country and win India medals at the global stage, and now to have this recognition from Laureus and be considered alongside such exceptional athletes is a really special feeling,” he added.
