Neeraj said to Dinesh Karthik on JioCinema’s “Get Set Gold” that he had never been satisfied with a throw before, but that particular one felt special and unique. “I feel I haven’t got to my peak yet; I have won gold and won a lot of competitions. But I still believe I have not reached my best and I am not satisfied with my throw yet,” he stated. Neeraj had won his first gold medal at an international competition.
In Bydgoszcz, Poland, he broke the reigning Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott’s mark with a throw of 86.48 meters, setting a new world junior record. He was the first Indian athlete to do so.

At the Eugene 2022 World Championships, he also took home a silver medal. The Indian celebrity defended her gold medal at the Asian Games in Hangzhou in 2023. At the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, he took home the gold medal for the continent. Neeraj also talked about his interests outside of work, such as a brief shopping habit that resulted in an intricate international transaction.
“I like a variety of pastimes. I enjoy spending time with my pals. Although I used to enjoy shopping a lot, I now shop less since I think it’s a waste of money. We have other places to spend that money. I enjoy gathering unusual items. I once passed by a store in Germany that had original artwork. Without giving it any thought, I purchased a statue of a warrior seated on a horse and hurling a spear—more accurately, a javelin. It weighed 20 kg.
After that, I wondered, “How will I travel it to India?” At last, one of my brothers succeeded,” Neeraj said. He disclosed his activities during the Covid-19 lockdown, saying, “I viewed the films with the highest IMDb ratings during the blackout. Thus, there was The Pianist, Cast Away, A Beautiful Mind, The Shawshank Redemption, and Forrest Gump. I just finished seeing the film Society of the Snow. I want to recommend it to everyone. I feel like our lives are so much better because of it.
