India’s very own Neeraj Chopra, the Olympic gold medalist and world champion in javelin throw, recently received a prestigious accolade during a special ceremony in Switzerland. In recognition of his outstanding achievements in the field of sports, Neeraj was presented with a commemorative plaque by Switzerland Tourism. The ceremony took place at the renowned Ice Palace at Jungfraujoch, famously known as the ‘Top of Europe’.
Joining the likes of sports icons Roger Federer and Rory Mcllroy, Neeraj now belongs to an esteemed group of athletes who have been honored with commemorative plaques at the Ice Palace. In addition to the plaque, Neeraj generously donated one of his javelins, which now serves as a captivating tourist attraction alongside the plaque. This gift marks his second contribution to the country, with the first being the javelin he presented to the Olympic Museum in Switzerland.
Expressing his gratitude during the plaque unveiling ceremony, Neeraj humbly shared his appreciation for the love and support he has received in Switzerland. He expressed his joy and amazement at having a plaque installed in the beautiful Ice Palace, describing the experience as being on top of the world, both physically and emotionally.
Furthermore, Neeraj showcased his exceptional javelin-throwing skills, captivating the attendees with his talent. Switzerland Tourism emphasized that the Wall of Fame at Jungfraujoch serves as a testament to the spirit of accomplishment and dedication, a fitting tribute to Neeraj’s remarkable journey.
In an interesting development, Switzerland Tourism recently appointed Neeraj Chopra as its Friendship Ambassador. In this role, Neeraj will share his experiences in Switzerland, promoting it as an ideal destination for tourists.
While the plaque ceremony was a momentous occasion, Neeraj is currently intensely focused on his training for the Paris 2024 Olympics. He has been undergoing rigorous training at the North West University in Potchefstroom, South Africa, since December 5, 2023. Accompanied by his coach, Dr. Klaus Bartonietz, and physiotherapist Ishaan Marwaha, Neeraj is determined to defend his Tokyo gold medal and make history by becoming the first Indian to win multiple individual gold medals at the Olympics.
Neeraj Chopra continues to inspire and make the nation proud with his remarkable achievements in the world of sports.
Neeraj Chopra, indijski zlatni olimpijski pobjednik i svjetski prvak u bacanju koplja, nedavno je primio prestižno priznanje na posebnoj ceremoniji u Švicarskoj. U znak priznanja za njegove iznimne postignuća u sportskom svijetu, Neeraj je dobio spomen-ploču od strane Švicarske turističke organizacije. Ceremonija je održana u poznatom Ledenoj palači na Jungfraujochu, poznatom kao ‘Vrh Europe’.
Neeraj je sada dio cijenjene grupe atleta koja uključuje sportske ikone poput Roger Federera i Roryja Mcllroya, koji su također bili počašćeni spomen-pločama u Ledenoj palači. Osim spomen-ploče, Neeraj je velikodušno donirao jedno od svojih koplja koje sada predstavlja zanimljivu turističku atrakciju uz spomen-ploču. Ovaj poklon označava njegov drugi doprinos zemlji, s obzirom da je prvo koplje koje je donirao bilo predstavljeno u Olimpijskom muzeju u Švicarskoj.
Izražavajući svoju zahvalnost tijekom ceremonije otkrivanja spomen-ploče, Neeraj je skromno podijelio svoju zahvalnost za ljubav i podršku koju je primio u Švicarskoj. Izrazio je svoju radost i oduševljenje zbog postavljanja spomen-ploče u prekrasnoj Ledenoj palači, opisujući to iskustvo kao da je na vrhu svijeta, i fizički i emocionalno.
Osim toga, Neeraj je pokazao svoje iznimne vještine bacanja koplja, oduševljavajući prisutne svojim talentom. Švicarska turistička organizacija istaknula je da Zid slave na Jungfraujochu predstavlja svjedočanstvo duha postignuća i posvećenosti, prikladna himna Neerajevom izvanrednom putovanju.
U zanimljivom razvoju događaja, Švicarska turistička organizacija nedavno je imenovala Neeraja Chopru svojim ambasadorom prijateljstva. U toj ulozi, Neeraj će dijeliti svoja iskustva u Švicarskoj i promovirati je kao idealnu destinaciju za turiste.
Iako je ceremonija otkrivanja spomen-ploče bila veličanstvena prilika, Neeraj je trenutno snažno fokusiran na pripreme za Olimpijske igre u Parizu 2024. godine. Od 5. prosinca 2023. godine, on vježba s velikom predanošću na Sveučilištu North West u Potchefstroomu, Južna Afrika. Prati ga trener, dr. Klaus Bartonietz, i fizioterapeut Ishaan Marwaha, a Neeraj je odlučan u obrani svoje zlatne medalje iz Tokija i u postizanju povijesnog uspjeha kao prvi Indijac koji je osvojio više zlatnih medalja na Olimpijskim igrama.
Neeraj Chopra nastavlja inspirirati i činiti naciju ponosnom svojim izvanrednim postignućima u svijetu sporta.
