Excited to finally perform with Bharat Army supporting with their chants from stands: Neeraj Chopra

When Neeraj Chopra takes the field, it’s not just his javelin that soars — it’s a billion hopes flying with it. But the Olympic champion sees it differently. For him, fans aren’t just faces in the stands or names on social media — they're his “partners” in every throw.

“As athletes, to receive this kind of support is very special,” Neeraj said in an exclusive chat with the Bharat Army ahead of the Neeraj Chopra Classic. “The focus is always on the throw, but it’s the supporters who boost our performances, helping us give our 100% every time.”

Over the years, Neeraj has come to embody calm excellence. But even for someone who has conquered the biggest stages in world sport, there’s something uniquely energising about performing in front of his own — especially with the Bharat Army present.
