The Asian Reporter Pacific Northwest News q Volume 32 Number 8 q August 1, 2022 q www.asianreporter.com Love at first flight: Indian javelin thrower inspires nation AMAZING ARM.

There was no grand plan that launched Chopra on the path to be- coming an Olympic champion javelin thrower, only a simple suggestion.
