      The IOC offers the following Video News Release to all news agencies, broadcasters and online news platforms free of charge. STORY SCRIPT:  India’s first ever track and field Olympic Gold Medallist Neeraj Chopra has gifted the javelin he used for his historic victory in Tokyo 2020 to The Olympic Museum in Lausanne. The javelin joins the rich Olympic heritage collections held at the museum to secure Olympic legacy and inspire future generations.

Former tennis player Manisha Malhotra, who represented India in Sydney 2000, was also in attendance.
