Neeraj Chopra continued his rise to greatness with a historic gold medal at the World Athletics Championships 2023 in Budapest. The star javelin thrower did not have the best of starts but came up with an 88.17m throw in his second attempt, which was enough for him to win the top prize on offer and become the first Indian to clinch the gold medal in the history of the competition. On a high and in good form, fans would once again expect Neeraj Chopra to be waving the national flag high when he takes the field in the Zurich Diamond League 2023 on August 31. Along with Chopra, long jump star Murali Sreeshankar is set to take part in this event as well.  'This Medal Is For Entire India' Neeraj Chopra Thanks Fans After Securing Historic Gold at World Athletics Championship 2023 (Watch Video).

After his wins in the Doha and Lausanne Diamond Leagues, Neeraj Chopra now hopes to carry on that streak and secure the top prize in Zurich as well. The 25-year-old is presently third in the Diamond League rankings with 16 points behind Germany's Julian Weber and World Athletics Championships 2023 bronze winner Jakub Vadlejch, who holds the top spot. While both these athletes would turn out to be tough competition for Chopra, the Tokyo Olympic champion would back himself to clinch another win under his belt.  'Waha Nahi Sign Kar Sakta' Neeraj Chopra Shows Respect for Indian National Flag, Refuses to Give Autograph on Tri-Colour; Signs Hungarian Fan's Shirt Sleeve Instead.
