Anju Bobby took to Instagram and questioned IOA's decision to not consider Neeraj as flagbearer and wrote, "Surprisingly, the IOA did not consider our golden boy Neeraj Chopra as a flag bearer for the 2024 Olympic Games..."

Neeraj Chopra and Arshad Nadeem have competed against one another in nine international competitions, seven times at the senior level and two times at the junior level.

Neeraj Chopra refused to sign on the Indian national flag to protect its dignity and instead, gave the autograph on the fan's sleeves.

Neeraj completed the last item on his list of gold medals—the Worlds gold—in style. The second throw was actually thrown a few meters behind the foul line, and there was room for a few more.

Neeraj Chopra kicked off his campaign at the Budapest (Hungary) World Athletics Championship 2023 on Friday with a throw of 88.77 meters.

The 25-year-old Chopra rose to world number two on August 30 last year but was stuck behind Peters since then. In September last year, Neeraj Chopra won the Diamond League 2022 finals in Zurich, becoming the first Indian to win the prestigious trophy.
