Gold medallist speaks about keeping injury free, India-Pak rivalry & more
OLYMPIC and world champions are the rarest breeds in the country. One athlete, who has made this his own, and with poise, is Neeraj Chopra. The newly crowned world champ Neeraj did get a bit of stage fright in the first throw of the World Championships final on Sunday but came back in the second to get that 88.17m to edge past Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem to gold. In the process, the two created another India-Pakistan rivalry that is bound to stay for a while. It may be something delectable for the fans, but for the players, it’s pressure. Though Neeraj is trying not to think about it too much yet, somehow feels it is there to stay and such pressure could help him dodge more intense competitions in the future. But for now, Neeraj hopes to take it easy, stay healthy and injury-free.
