Neeraj Chopra, the heartthrob of the nation, the winner of the only gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in javelin throw, on Tuesday visited the home of his former coach and Indian army subedar, Kashinath Naik in Koregaon Park area of Pune.

Naik has the last laugh

Athletics Federation of India president Adille Sumariwalla had earlier issued a statement that Naik had never trained Neeraj. As Neeraj came to the house of Naik and spent almost an hour with his family members, Naik had the last laugh.
