The mop-haired 25-year-old became the first Indian to win a gold medal at the World Athletics Championships, throwing 88.17 metres to secure victory in Budapest on Sunday. "In events like Olympics or World Championships, you have to give 100 percent," Chopra, whose personal best remains 89.94 metres, told reporters. "I had already qualified for the Diamond League final, so I could afford to take it slightly easy here. "The Diamond League final is on Sept. 16-17, so I don't have much time.

BUDAPEST, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra became the first Indian to win a gold medal at the World Athletics Championships when he pipped Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem in the men's javelin on Sunday with an 88.17 metre effort in the final. Chopra won Olympic gold in Tokyo but managed only a silver at the worlds in Eugene last year. After the Olympic gold I really wanted to win the world championships. This is brilliant for the national team but it was my dream to win gold at the world championships," Chopra said. "I wanted to throw more than 90m tonight but it needs all parts of the puzzle to be there.

"Like I said it before, I had to be kicked out from another 100 metres race, so I had to do my best no matter what. I am really happy with my race, third place is a good start and the time is decent," she said. "I feel really good, today was challenging for all athletes but I'm still satisfied with my result," Chopra said. The Czech Republic's Jakub Vadlejch, who won silver in Tokyo, finished second again -- four centimetres shy of Chopra's mark. "It was an exciting race but a little bit windy, so I decided to not push too much and just focus on winning the race," Kipyegon said.
