In the Tokyo Games, Neeraj won gold in men's javelin final with a throw of 87.58m. However, the athlete has brought his 2021 campaign to an end due to a bout of illness and lack of training.
As shown by his social media activity, the athlete seems to be relaxing after his hectic Olympic schedule and has also been involved in felicitation ceremonies with politicians and dignitaries, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
