MUMBAI: On Tuesday, the 27-year-old javelin star is set to make his debut at the Ostrava Golden Spike meet.

He has long been waiting to compete in the eastern Czech city, but missed out in the last two seasons due to injury.

"When I was a kid, I watched a lot of videos and photos of athletes (like) Usain Bolt competing here," he said to the media in Ostrava ahead of the meet. "I came last year but I didn't compete because of injury. Now I feel good, but I don't want to put any pressure on myself for 90m. But I'll try really hard."

Unable to compete at the last two editions, he has travelled to Ostrava fit and in good form.
