Olympic gold medalist and World Champion javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra has ditched the bachelors club as he announced his marriage to the tennis player Himani Mor through X on Sunday.
Neeraj stated that the wedding marks the beginning of a new chapter in his life.
“Grateful for every blessing that brought us to this moment together, Bound by love, happily ever after, Neeraj Himani,” Chopra wrote on X.
The 27 year-old is India’s most celebrated athletes after achieving a record-breaking javelin throw in the Paris 2024 Olympics. He fell short of retaining his gold medal, finishing with a best throw of 89.45m. Chopra became the second male athlete from post-independence India to win two Olympic medals in an individual event. He is also the only Indian athlete to win two different Olympic medals (Gold in Tokyo 2020 and Silver in Paris 2024).

Chopra’s first and third attempts were invalidated by red flags, and his final three attempts were fouls. Despite a strong performance in the qualification round with a throw of 89.34 meters, his 89.45-meter throw wasn’t enough to retain his gold.
Chopra’s successful partnership with his long-time coach Klaus Bartonietz came to an end in November of last year after his 75-year-old German coach decided to retire after helping Chopra secure two Olympic medals, two World Championship medals, and an Asian Games gold.
Following this, Chopra announced an exciting new chapter in his career, partnering with javelin legend Jan Zelezny, who has come on board as his new coach. Zelezny, a three-time Olympic and World champion and the current world record holder, has long been an idol for Chopra.
