Neeraj Chopra won the gold medal at the Tokyo Games in 2021.
Javelin ace Neeraj Chopra announced his partnership with Audi India on Monday. The double Olympic medalist signed up with the German Automotive Manufacturer Audi, confirming it was a special moment in his career.
In a social media post, the rising Indian sports icon said he always had a fascination for cars, and the Audi partnership is a dream come true.
'Just like most other kids, I always had a fascination for cars. But I never even dreamt that a moment like this could come true. Glad to be part of the @AudiIN family!" – Chopra wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. The javelin star also added a picture of himself with the Audi car to his post.

Chopra turned into a national sports icon and a household name with the Tokyo Olympics, winning gold.
The 27-year-old inspiring athlete has been in spectacular form this year.
Chopra won the Potch Invitational Meet in Potchefstroom in South Africa with his 84.52m throw in April.
He then broke his personal and overall national record, reaching the long-awaited 90m mark at the Doha Diamond League earlier in May. Chopra's throw of 90.23 m was only bettered by Germany-based Julian Weber's personal best of 91.06m.
Carrying the momentum, Chopra clinched a silver medal at the Janusz Kusocinski Memorial 2025 despite a late switch from the NC Classic whose postponement created space for the Poland event in his calendar.
