Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra shared images of his parents enjoying their travel by flight for the first time in their life.

India’s golden boy Neeraj Chopra, who won a career-defining gold medal in men's javelin throw at the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020, might have become the talk of the town after his special feat at the Games, however, the javelin thrower still manages to stay grounded and one of his dreams came true on Saturday (September 11) morning.

Neeraj Chopra took his parents on their first flight and the javelin thrower expressed his happiness in making his parents happy.

"A small dream of mine came true today as I was able to take my parents on their first flight," tweeted Chopra while attaching a couple of pics in which his parents can be seen sitting inside an airplane.

Neeraj threw 87.02 metres in his first attempt but bettered his record in the second essay with a distance of 87.58m in the mega event to pick the gold at Tokyo Olympics.

The 23-year-old also said that he was "disappointed" to see people pushing their "vested interests" following a viral video that showed the Indian athlete on the lookout for his javelin moments before the finals of the javelin event in August.

The video doing the rounds on social video further showed the Indian athlete spotting his javelin in the hands of Pakistan athlete Arshad Nadeem and then rushing towards him to take it back before his first attempt on a historic night.
