India’s legendary javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, a two-time Olympic medallist, concluded the year 2025 with “beautiful memories,” expressing gratitude to everyone who participated in his marriage celebration.
Neeraj Chopra, the first Indian athlete to win an Olympic gold medal, and his spouse, Himani Mor Chopra, hosted a reception party on December 26 in New Delhi, attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other prominent dignitaries. The couple had married earlier in January this year.
“Ending 2025 with beautiful memories. A beautiful time with family, friends, and endless blessings. Thank you for being part of our celebration and showering us with love,” Neeraj Chopra posted on Instagram.
What Did Neeraj Chopra Do In 2025?
The 27-year-old Chopra had a mixed year, breaking the 90-metre mark at the Doha Diamond League but finishing eighth overall due to fitness issues, thus failing to defend his World Championship title. Earlier, he won the gold medal at the Golden Spike Ostrava and finished second in the 2025 Diamond League final, maintaining his top-two streak since 2021 and his podium finish streak since 2020.
Additionally, he hosted and won a javelin throw competition, named the NC Classic, in Bengaluru.
At the beginning of the season, Chopra hired Czech legend Jan Zelezny, who holds three Olympic gold medals and the javelin throw world record of 98.48 metres, as his new coach.
Chopra made history by winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, becoming the first Indian athlete to win an Olympic medal. He followed this triumph with a silver medal at the Paris Olympic Games in 2024. In between, he also secured a silver and a gold medal at the World Championships.
