Neeraj Chopra pushes himself after second place in Zurich, aims for longer throws

Neeraj Chopra, India’s Olympic javelin champion, expressed disappointment after finishing second at the Zurich Diamond League, despite delivering a strong performance. The 26-year-old highlighted that his run-up felt off, and he believes there is room for improvement in his throws.

“Today, my run-up was not good. I need to focus and throw further,” Chopra said after the event. His self-critical approach reflects his determination to keep improving ahead of major competitions later this season.

Chopra’s season has been impressive so far, but the athlete remains focused on fine-tuning his technique. Coaches and fans alike are confident that his relentless drive and commitment to improvement will see him achieve even greater distances in upcoming events.

His performance in Zurich serves as both a reminder of the competition he faces internationally and a motivation to push his limits. Chopra continues to set high standards for himself, aiming to maintain his status among the world’s elite javelin throwers.
