Why does a German Village celebrate Neeraj's Olympic Gold?
After several years of wait, india has achieved something bigger in the recently concluded tokyo 2020 olympics and it has been a dream for every indian to see india climbing up the charts in the Olympic medal tally. India's gold hunt started with Neeraj Chopra's Javelin throw which went for a huge distance of 87 meters and it was indeed a proud moment for every indian when our National Anthem was sung when an indian stood at the podium on the Number One position.
But a village in germany named Oberschlettenbach also joined in Celebrating India's Golden Boy Neeraj Chopra and the main reason is Neeraj's coach Klaus Barton is also from the same village. Klaus is 73-years-old and he has been an integral part of Neeraj's gold medal as he trained him completely with perfect fitness and motivated him to grab the Gold. Barton is now getting lots of praises in his own village and when he returned back, he was mobbed by all his neighbors and they basked him in glory as his student bagged gold at the olympics event. Barton has now transformed into a Celebrity in his village and now he is being called by several athletes as everyone wants to get trained under him right now and the confidence of victory can be seen on the smiles of Barton!
