Gold medallist Neeraj Chopra showers praise on Paralympic silver medallist Devendra Jhajharia, says THIS

The 40-year-old Devendra Jhajharia, already India’s greatest Paralympian after winning gold medals in the 2004 and 2016 Games, pulled off a new personal best throw of 64.35m for the silver in F46 classification.

Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra praised Indian para javelin thrower Devendra Jhajharia for bagging a silver medal at the Tokyo Paralympics on Monday (August 30). Jhajharia won silver with a personal best throw of 64.35 in the men's Standing Javelin (F46) event. This was also his third medal at Paralympic Games. India’s Sundar Singh Gurjar won bronze in the same event with a season-best of 62.58m. Neeraj, who won a gold medal in the men’s javelin event in Tokyo Olympics earlier this month and has become the toast of the nation, congratulated the two para-athletes on their outstanding performances in the Games. “Devendra bhai sahab: you are such an inspiration to all of us Congratulations on your 3rd #Paralympics medal! Many congratulations to Sundar bhai also for winning a bronze,” Neeraj Chopra tweeted.
