We will welcome him with churma which is his favourite. I am delighted, people are lighting firecrackers, we are making ladoos,&#8221; Saroj added.<br \/>Chopra&#8217;s result is commendable in light of the extremely tough competition, wherein seven athletes achieved a distance greater than 86 meters.<br \/>&#8220;We are very happy. He produced his season&#8217;s best. All were near 88-89m so competition was very tough. It&#8217;s not about winning a gold or silver, but about winning a medal, and he did his best,&#8221; Chopra&#8217;s aunt Kamlesh said.<br \/>Having won gold in every competition, including the Olympics, World Championships, Diamond League, <!-- -->Asian Games<!-- -->, and Commonwealth Games, Chopra is among the most decorated athletes in India.<br \/>&#8220;After Tokyo there was no medal left except for silver, that was also needed so he got it,&#8221; Kamlesh said.<br \/>She stated that following Nadeem&#8217;s monstrous throw, the family had a sneaking suspicion that Chopra wouldn&#8217;t take home the gold.<br \/>&#8220;After Nadeem&#8217;s throw (92.97m) we had a feeling (that he will win gold) but he is also our son, we are happy with him.<br \/>&#8220;He&#8217;s also Asia&#8217;s son. We don&#8217;t differentiate between Nadeem and Neeraj.
