Double Olympic medallist has his hands full as the host of NC Classic
Sitting alongside two greats of men's javelin, Thomas Rohler and Julius Yego, Neeraj Chopra on Friday narrated a pinch-himself-moment from the previous evening.
When at the gym in the Kanteerava Stadium, Neeraj saw Rohler and others training on the field. That's when it struck him that the Neeraj Chopra Classic, his dream project, was just 48 hours away.
The two-time Olympic and World Championship medallist was overwhelmed.
"I was telling them that I was in the gym, and saw you and the others throwing. It was my dream that it would happen in India and now finally it is here. So thank you," Neeraj said looking towards Rohler and Yego.
In a new role as the face of the World Athletics Category A event, Neeraj has knuckled down and got to work ensuring that everything is in the best order.
