Latest Comments by Neeraj Chopra, World Championship Ambitions, And Other Details
Although a World Championships medal is on his mind, top javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra stated on Saturday that he will approach the showpiece event in July without putting too much pressure on himself, like he did during the Tokyo Olympics. Chopra, 24, believes that obsessing on a World Championships medal could be counterproductive, but that such an achievement is within his grasp if he gives it his all on competition day.
Neeraj has the benefit of age on his side. Chopra, on the other hand, would like to make up for his lackluster performance in the 2017 London World Championships, where he failed to qualify for the last round. He was unable to compete in the 2019 World Championships in Doha due to an elbow injury.
