As Neeraj Chopra, the reigning Olympic champion, gears up for his bid for a second gold medal at the Paris Games, a fresh social media trend has emerged, fueling excitement around his performance. The trend, centered around the phrase "if Neeraj Chopra wins gold," has rapidly gained traction online.
Among those joining the buzz is Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant. Pant has announced a special giveaway: he will award Rs 100,089 to a lucky individual who likes and comments on his tweet if Chopra secures the gold. Additionally, the top ten commenters will win flight tickets.
"If Neeraj Chopra win a gold medal tomorrow, I will pay 100089 rupees to lucky winner who likes the tweet and comment most. And for the rest top 10 people trying to get attention will get flight tickets . Let’s get support from india and outside the world for my brother," Pant posted on X.
In another development, Indian-origin start-up Atlys, which assists travel agents with visa applications, has pledged to offer free visas to its users if Chopra clinches gold, as announced by the CEO on LinkedIn.
Chopra, competing in his second Olympic Games in Paris, has already made a strong impression by advancing to the men’s javelin throw final after an impressive qualification performance.
The men’s javelin throw final is set to take place on Thursday at the Stade de France.
