India`s Tokyo Olympics gold medal-winning javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra continues to be his humble, down-to-earth self despite cementing his superstar status by winning almost every event he has participated in since.
On Monday, he sat through nearly an hour (55 minutes to be precise) of what was originally scheduled to be a 30-minute chat with select journalists during an online interaction organised by the Sports Authority of India media team. He patiently answered in detail all questions that came his way, some even repetitive. He even made an attempt to educate the scribes as he clarified that winners of the Diamond League are not awarded medals.
