Opening about the fitness issues that he has been battling for close to a year, Indian javelin throw ace Neeraj Chopra said the last 10 months have tested him in ways that he never expected. The 28-year-old two-time Olympic medallist, who added a Commonwealth Games silver to his crowded cabinet last week, was primarily hampered by an adductor muscle injury and a few other niggles along with it. His start to the season was delayed but he managed to find his rhythm at the CWG in Glasgow with a season’s best of 85.83m.
Support System Fuels Javelin Journey
Javelin thrower Jai Chaudhary attributes his progress to the unwavering support of his coach and family. ‘My coach, Jai, has been with me since the very first time I picked up a javelin,’ he noted. He emphasized the importance of his family, stating they always stand strong with him, regardless of the circumstances. As the season unfolds, he remains focused on taking it one step at a time.
