New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday congratulated javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra for starting his Diamond League title defence with a comfortable win in the season-opening leg and wished him best for the upcoming contests.
He tweeted, "First event of the year and first position! With the World lead throw of 88.67m, @Neeraj_chopra1 shines at the Doha Diamond League. Congratulations to him! Best wishes for the endeavours ahead."
The 25-year-old Olympic champion, who had pocketed the 2022 Diamond League Final trophy in Switzerland last September, beat a star-studded field with a best throw of 88.67m to begin his season.
