KIYG 2023: Inspired By Neeraj Chopra, Javelin Thrower Deepika Continues The Habit Of Breaking Meet Records
Khelo India Youth Games: At the age of 17 years, young javelin thrower Deepika from Haryana has made it a habit to break records, just like her idol Neeraj Chopra, the reigning Olympic and World Championship gold medallist who has set new standards all the way to the top.
Deepika hails from Bangaon, which is a quiet village of 5,000-odd residents situated in Fatehabad district of Haryana. Athletics coaches from the region refer to it as the ‘Mini Finland of Haryana’ due to the surge in javelin medals from the area.
For the residents of Bangaon, scripting new records in javelin throw competitions, however, is a regular affair. The same is the case with Deepika.
