After becoming the world champion on Sunday, Neeraj smiled and met the fans’ requests. But one Hungarian fan’s signature request was turned down. But he was appreciated.
After winning the gold medal in javelin throw at the World Athletics Championships, a foreign fan had asked for Neeraj Chopra’s signature. But Neeraj refused to sign for a particular reason. The world’s number-one javelin thrower has been praised for this rejection.
Neeraj is one of the best athletes in the world. He is at the top of the number of followers on social media. He has admirers in different countries of the world. After becoming the world champion on Sunday, many people requested to be photographed or signed with him. The Indian javelin thrower has met many requests with a smile. But Neeraj politely turned down a request from a Hungarian fan to sign it.
Why did Neeraj do this? The woman fan from Hungary waved an Indian national flag at Neeraj and asked him to sign it. Neeraj immediately turned down the offer. “I can’t sign on the flag,” he told the woman directly. Neeraj, however, signed the woman’s shirt with a smile. Though not on the Indian flag, the woman is happy to finally get Neeraj’s signature.
A journalist shared a picture of the incident on social media. It shows the Indian flag placed on the table in front of the woman. Instead of signing it, Neeraj is signing the woman’s shirt sleeves.
Sports fans have praised Neeraj’s respect for the national flag. Everyone supported the 25-year-old javelin thrower’s decision. Many said that Neeraj should learn from him how to protect the dignity of the national flag even during the ultimate success.
Neeraj Chopra secured his position in Indian athletics history with this victory. His achievements include a diverse array of international medals, including the Olympic Gold Medal, the Diamond Trophy, and now the Gold Medal from the World Championships. He has become an inspiration for aspiring athletes in India and all over the world because of this achievement, which highlights his exceptional talent, dedication, and perseverance in the sport.
