Chandigarh, August 28
Olympian Neeraj Chopra did not disappoint India as he came up with a superb throw of 88.17 and secured the gold medel in the World Athletics Championships on Sunday.
Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem won silver, while Czech Republic's Yakub Vadlejch took bronze.
Arshad Nadeem made a final attempt in sixth round with a big one, but it was still short of what he wanted and Chopra claimed the gold.
But what really caught social media's attention was the 25-year-old Olympian from Haryana sharing a moment with Pakistan's Nadeem after the javelin throw final in this beautiful video.
The wholesome video shows Neeraj invite Nadeem under the India flag.
Below are the reactions:
