NEERAJ SILVER IN THE WORDS OF COACH KLAUS
The New Indian Express
|August 11, 2024
THEY share a very sacred bond: Olympic silver medallist Neeraj Chopra and his coach Klaus Bartonietz.
Almost like father and son. They spent more than nine months together training and competing. They travelled from one centre to another. Klaus, like a saint, has been guiding Neeraj in his sporting ventures. For the record, the 26-year-old's physio, Ishaan Marwahaa, is the third member.
Between the men's javelin final and the qualification, Klaus and Marwah tried to keep Neeraj calm. They usually try to keep both the body and the mind active. At the same time, they would not want him to stress about the final. "We tried to keep him calm," said Klaus. What helped was Neeraj was no longer a novice and he knew his body well. "He is experienced and is aware of his body," said Klaus.
