March 20, 2022 | Belgrade, Serbia: witnessed @mondohoss600 create history by becoming the first person to vault over 6.20m.

September 15, 2025 | Tokyo, Japan: witnessed @mondohoss600 create history by becoming the first person to vault over 6.30m.

🐐 Tokyo

As someone who's always stressed on wanting to do his best in each meet, I reckon Neeraj will be pretty satisfied with that result.
He'll also be happy for Julien Webber, who much like him, has long been around that 90m mark

[Aman Shah @aman812]

Just saw @Neeraj_chopra1 throw the Javelin over the 90m mark live 🫡

[Michael.R Payne @MichaelRPayne1]

Mission accomplished.
#PARIS2024    you delivered & how.
- Brought magic back
- Created iconic stadiums
- Lit the stadium atmosphere
- Made French police smile
- Stopped French bitching & talking politics
Thankyou for being the most marvellous host.

[Aman Shah @aman812]

Season's Best at the main competition of the season. His 2nd best throw ever. Little more one can ask from Neeraj Chopra, who is now India's most successful individual Olympian.

Super ⭐ and more than anything, a gem of a human.

Neeraj Chopra : Double Olympic Medalist

[Aman Shah @aman812]

No one deserves to be an Olympic medalist more than @Phogat_Vinesh
Just so happy for her 🙂

[Aman Shah @aman812]

Always a good time to tweet this: One And Done.

Onto the 8th 🇮🇳

[Aman Shah @aman812]

Diamond League debut for Kishore Jena, who'll take the field at Doha on May 10 alongside @Neeraj_chopra1 and other top throwers for his season opener.

Can't stress on #4 enough!
Sport isn't (and shouldn't) be the only thing one does, irrespective of how talented one is!!
The value of a *real* degree to ensure a meaningful life post sport is criminally underrated and not talked about enough.
TJ here, is the best case in point

[Tejaswin Shankar (TJ) @TejaswinShankar]

Questions I usually get asked about this-

1. NO he is not going to get US 🇺🇸 citizenship
2. He’s going to get the best training and exposure for FREE
3. Will represent India 🇮🇳 after he is done competing at Florida
4. Gets a college degree
5. No need to reinvent the wheel 🫠

[Aman Shah @aman812]

Splendid first for India and as always, couldn't happen to a nicer individual :)
So happy @ArifKhanskier could get the support he needed from this point 👇and continues to fly the tricolor with his performances post Beijing!

🔸Lacrosse (sixes)

#IOCMumbai2023

[Aman Shah @aman812]

The 141st IOC Session votes in favour of the LA28 sports package. Baseball/softball, squash, flag football, Lacrosse AND T20 cricket are now officially part of the LA 2028 Sports Program.

[Aman Shah @aman812]

Also, with India's intent to host the Olympic & Paralympic Games now public, and obvious concerns/cynicism natural, as opportune a time as any to bring this back from 6 years back👇🏾👇🏾

Didn't hear it so don't know what exactly @Abhinav_Bindra said, but reading a lot about his comments about why India should not potentially host the Olympics. #Thread on why I respectfully disagree (1)

[Aman Shah @aman812]

Had my own little moment while the country was looking at #IndiavsPak
Massive day for the Olympic Movement in India and feel privileged to have been a part of it 🇮🇳

[World Athletics @WorldAthletics]

Male Athlete of the Year nominee ✨

Retweet to vote for @Neeraj_chopra1 🇮🇳 in the #AthleticsAwards.

[Aman Shah @aman812]

@Shant_Tanu Both Summer and Winter :)

[Aman Shah @aman812]

To sum up: there's a lot of arguments to be made about wasting resources, but if done in a sustainable, systematic and well-planned way, hosting the Olympics may actually do more good to India and Indian sports than one may think (ENDS)

[Aman Shah @aman812]

@Shant_Tanu Thanks Shantanu, appreciate the feedback 6 years later :) But yeah, in hindsight, looks like we're progressing quite well!😀
Guess what's common between the 3 countries ahead of India at the Asian Games table?

[Aman Shah @aman812]

@Pythagoras_101 @vinayakkm Yes, should definitely have one of them qualify also
