I don't want to put pressure on myself for 90m: Neeraj
Gulf Today
|June 24, 2025
As he builds towards his ultimate goal - a top finish at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo - Olympic and World Champion Neeraj Chopra says he isn't placing himself under the pressure of chasing 90-metre throws every time he steps out, though he's quietly confident ahead of the Golden Spike meet in Ostrava on Tuesday.
-
“I feel good, but I don't want to put any pressure on myself for 90m. But I'll try really hard,” Chopra said told reporters ahead of Tuesday's Golden Spike Athletics meet.
“I've already thrown 90m this year after a little bit more improvement in technique. So let's see when it comes next time, but I am ready.”
The 27-year-old javelin superstar, fresh off his Paris Diamond League win (88.16m) over German Julian Weber, is focusing more on technical refinement than chasing numbers every meet.
“Recently we've done a good training in Nymburk (Czech Republic), so I'll do my best here in Ostrava,” he added.
