Neeraj, who is practicing in England, said in an online conversation, I hope that in this new year I will finish this question. He came closest to this goal in the Stockholm leg of the prestigious Diamond League. He then secured the second position with a distance of 89.94 metres. Neeraj believes that he could have achieved a position in Stockholm. He said, I could have done this if my par had been a few centimeters ahead while throwing the javelin.
Neeraj Chopra is not bothered by the pressure of expectations
He said, yes, I was only six centimeters away. But for an athlete it is like a magical achievement. Whenever you talk about a top athlete, we all say that he has covered a distance of 90 metres. Neeraj, however, is not too worried about it. However, I am not bothered by the pressure of expectations. It will happen when it has to happen. It could have happened last year or even the year before, but perhaps God has placed a right time and place for it.
Neeraj did not prepare the plan
It is about giving your all, your mindset should be such that you will give your 100 per cent to achieve it, said the Army-affiliated player from Haryana. I hope this to those who love me. It plays a positive role. Ahead of next year’s Paris Olympics, several important tournaments including the Asian Games are lined up this year and Chopra will consider participating in those tournaments when he starts preparing for the season.
He said, this year I have three big competitions in front of me. World Championship, Asian Games and Diamond League Finals. He said, I have not yet decided when to start the preparation. My coach is monitoring the situation in China. Keeping that in mind, I will start my preparation. If it will be on its schedule in October, then I will start preparing late.
