The 26-year-old also shared his eagerness to join the team soon at the French capital in Paris. Among the second biggest contingent India have ever flown to an Olympic event, Chopra stands as one of the biggest and brightest medal prospects.
The Haryana-born star will look to defend his Olympic crown at the games in Paris after creating history by clinching the gold medal in Men’s Javelin throw at the Tokyo Olympics 2020.
In preparation for Paris, Neeraj has been going through an intense training program that focuses on bettering technique as well as overall body strength. Chopra has been training in Antalya, Turkey where he has been under the guidance of his coaches to maximise performance.
Neeraj Chopra will be seen in action on August 6th in the qualification round of the men’s javelin throw. If he manages to make it through the qualification round, he will be competing in the medal-round clash on August 8th.
