Standing out among the millions of Indians congratulating Neeraj Chopra for winning India's first Olympic Gold in athletics was India's legendary track and field athlete PT Usha, who came agonisingly close to winning a medal in 400M hurdles at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. In an exclusive interview to NDTV, the former Olympic athlete said "Indian athletics has waited long for an Olympic medal, we all had a dream and came close, but Neeraj did it. I am very happy. Also proud of the way our women athletes performed. Sindhu and women's hockey team fought very well."
