The 23-year-old, son of a farmer from Khandra village near Haryana’s Panipat, produced a second round throw of 87.58m in the final to stun the athletics world and ended India’s 100-year wait for a track and field medal.

Below are a few of the mesmerising photos that Olympian has sharing on Instagram:

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
