Neeraj Chopra comes from a traditional Indian joint family. In Panipat, the families of his father and three other brothers share what he describes as a happy house. None of his siblings or cousins play sport, but since Neeraj made his foray into Javelin as a 14-year old in 2011, he has had their wholehearted support.I wasnt really into sports till my mid-teens, Neeraj tells ESPN over a crackling telephone line from Poland. I just did some casual running before the local coach introduced me to the javelin and it went from there.Neeraj shot into the national limelight on Sunday morning when news trickled in of his historic gold at the IAAF World U-20 championships in the Polish city of Bydgoszcz.World U20 record!Watch the 86.48 throw of Neeraj Chopra pic.twitter.com/BXtCKxR0rT- IAAF (@iaaforg) July 24, 2016Not only did he become the first Indian in history to clinch a world championship gold in a field event, Neerajs throw of 86.48m created a new world record, surpassing the previous best by nearly 2 metres. His throw was in fact among the eight best of the year and ahead of the 84.58m thrown by Keshorn Walcott of Trinidad and Tobago to win gold at the 2012 Olympics in London.This was my best throw ever, it was almost four and a half meters longer that Ive ever thrown, even in practice, he says. I have no idea how it happened, everything just happened perfectly during the throw. Maybe because I was representing India, I was feeling a bit inspired from within.I started with a throw of 79.66m. When the spear left my hand for the second throw, I felt this would be something special. But I thought it would be around 83 metres. When I saw the outcome, for a second I couldnt believe it and then obviously, I was ecstatic.Despite the throw being higher than the Olympic qualification standard of 83 metres, Neeraj wont be at Rio because he failed to make the grade by the cut-off date of July 11. He had nearly ensured qualification by clinching gold at the South Asian Federation games in Guwahati in February and equalling the national record with a throw of 82.23 metres.However, he was hampered by a back injury subsequently that took longer than he hoped to heal. Neeraj says the time away also led to some technical faults creeping in before he rectified them over this extended training and competition stint in Poland.Neeraj is an admirer of Czech Republics three-time Olympic gold medalist Jan Zelezny, and hopes to match his idols perfect technique. Zelezny also holds the world record of 98.48 metres, set in 1996, and Neeraj is confident that this performance in Poland will act as a springboard for him to aspire to similar heights. He says the trick is to focus on a goal-oriented training schedule over the next few years.I am not going to Rio but my ambition is to do the best I possibly can at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, he says. I will go for gold.Tampa Bay Rays Store . The FA rejected Wilsheres appeal that the length of his punishment was "clearly excessive" and said Thursday his suspension begins with immediate effect.

Cheap Rays Jerseys . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Austin Pruitt Jersey . -- Jaye Marie Green shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday to increase her lead to five strokes after the second round of the LPGA Tours qualifying tournament.Daniel Ricciardo said he felt relief when he crossed the line ahead of Sebastian Vettel and returned to the podium with third position in Hungary.Despite a strong start, Ricciardo settled for third behind the Mercedes drivers in the opening stint. He briefly looked to have taken the initiative with an early second and final pit stop for soft tyres, though it soon became clear Mercedes had pace in hand to open the gap.?Explaining the logic behind the earlier second stop, Ricciardo said: At the time we looked quite competitive to Mercedes. I think I was closing them a few tenths a lap, and basically we thought they were struggling and tried to be aggressive and try and get close to them if they were going to pit soon too.Also, I think Seb [Vettel] wasnt too far behind but it was more about trying to fight for the win rather than defending behind us. That was pretty much that. After that they just turned up the volume unfortunately.Following that stop, Ricciardo spent the last laps holding off Ferraris Sebastian Vettel, who had fresher soft tyres on his car.In the end the fight was then with Sebastian, he got pretty close at the end, I did a long stint on those tyres. It wasnt easy, the last lap, he had DRS and in my mirrors it lookeed like he got quite close in Turn 1.dddddddddddd A bit of a fight so it was a bit of a relief, actually, coming across and keeping third.Ricciardo briefly looked like he was going to have the lead coming out of Turn 1 by passing both Mercedes drivers around the outside. However, eventual winner Lewis Hamilton had good drive out of the exit on the inside and powered clear of the Red Bull, who then lost another position to Nico Rosberg at Turn 2.When asked if he could have led throughout if he had successfully passed both Silver Arrows cars, he said: I think for a part of the race, sure. There were moments where we looked competitive, compared to Mercedes. I think once the first stint settled they had a bit more pace than us.But at the start of the second stint, with the soft, we seemed really competitive but in the end it looked like Mercedes was doing what they needed to do and their pace got stronger and stronger. There were parts of the race where we thought we were but they were able to up the pace. Probably couldnt have lasted the 70 laps if Id got the lead at the start - but what if, I dont know. ' ' '
