Katrina Kaif & Mark Zuckerberg are fans of this Tokyo Olympics Javelin finalist! India's Neeraj Chopra has entered the finals of the Javelin Throw and that too in his first attempt. Yes! You heard that right. Chopra on Wednesday stunned everyone with his 'perfect throw' and said that he would need the same performance with a higher score to be in contention for India's maiden track-and-field medal at the Olympics.
