New Delhi, May 16 -- Union Minister Piyush Goyal hailed Indian world champion and Olympic gold medalist javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra after he crossed the much-talked-about 90 m mark at the Doha Diamond League on Friday.

India's world champion and Olympic gold medalist javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra had an outing to remember, as he became the first Indian to cross the 90 m mark in the sport on Friday. However, after a monstrous throw by Germany's Julian Weber at the Doha Diamond League, he could not secure the top spot on the podium this time.

Taking to X, Union Minister Goyal posted, "90.23m, A historic moment for India as Lieutenant Colonel Neeraj Chopra breaches the 90m mark with a career best throw at Doha #DiamondLeague!"
