Neeraj Takes Fresh Guard

Two weeks after winning Olympics silver, Chopra will be in action in Lausanne on Thursday THE Lausanne Diamond League will be special for many reasons.

One of the most consistent athletes on the international circuit since Tokyo 2020 Olympics gold in 2021, Neeraj Chopra had only one valid throw in the final of the javelin in Paris on August 8th night.

That was enough for him to secure the silver in Summer Games behind Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem, who magically wrote himself into the history books with a mammoth 92.72m throw.

Things didn't go as per plan and Neeraj was quite perturbed by his effort, especially the foul throws. He has not fouled so many times in one competition in recent times. He spoke about his groin injury that had been troubling him for quite some time and also said that he would seek final opinion before addressing it. He kept repeating, "andar bahut baki hai (there is a lot more inside)" almost sounding remorseful and hurt. This will give him more confidence despite injury concerns.
