Neeraj Chopra: A full-time gold medallist and part-time fashionista – In pics

Athlete Neeraj Chopra is being hailed for winning India's first gold medal in the track and field event. He achieved this feat in the ongoing Tokyo Olympics. However, it seems like he also needs to be hailed for not just his sport but his fashion sense too.

The star athlete from Panipat district in Haryana created history after he clinched the gold in the javelin throw with an attempt of 87.58 metres, becoming only the second Indian after Abhinav Bindra to win an individual gold medal at the Olympics and the first in athletics.

Such was his dominance that Chopra stood top amongst all the 12 participating members in all the six rounds as he bagged the gold with a monstrous 87.5m throw in his second event.

Notably, Chopra is stylish off the track as well and one look at his Instagram profile can tell, that the 23-year-old has a good taste in fashion and knows how to flaunt it too.

Here we take a look at some of the top cool pics of Neeraj Chopra:
