Neeraj, once bullied for being overweight, wanted to lose flab and found his escape route in the sport. He would later end up being the country's first Olympic champion in athletics and only the second Indian track and field athlete to win a medal at the Worlds. Grenadian Anderson, hailing from a country with a population of 1.13 lakh, picked up the javelin in school at the age of 10 more as an extension of his childhood hobby of hurling stones at mangoes and apples hanging high on trees and later throwing cricket balls. He would become only the second athlete in javelin history to win back-to-back Worlds titles after Czech great Jan Železný.
