New Delhi: The two times Olympic medalist Neeraj Chopra on Sunday tied knots with Himani, the star athlete in a post on social media shared.
In a post shared on social media Chopra wrote, “Starting a new chapter of life with my family. Grateful for every blessing that brought us to this moment together. Bound by love, happily ever after.”
The star athlete bagged a silver medal in the Paris Olympics last year and clinched his second consecutive medal in the Games. He became the first Indian track and field athlete to win a gold medal in the Olympics in Tokyo.
He ended his 2024 season with a second-place finish in the prestigious Diamond League Final in Brussels.
In November last year, the 27-year-old partnered with Javelin legend Jan Zelezny, who came on board as his new coach. Zelezny, a three-time Olympic and World champion and the current world record holder, has long been an idol to Chopra.
“Growing up, I admired Jan’s technique and precision and spent a lot of time watching videos of him. He was the best in the sport for so many years, and I believe that working with him will be invaluable because our throwing styles are similar, and his knowledge is unmatched. It’s an honour to have Jan by my side as I push towards the next level in my career, and I can’t wait to get started,” Chopra had said during the announcement.
