Anju accused Chinese officials of cheating in the matter of Neeraj’s first throw.

India’s star athlete Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra’s first throw during the javelin throw event was not measured. A big controversy has arisen and the veteran athlete of her time, Anju Bobby George, has accused the Chinese officials of ‘attempting to cheat’ and the Indians. Accused of deliberate targeting. It seemed that Chopra had crossed the distance of 85 meters but surprisingly the officials did not record it and later they did not even give any reason for it. Chopra, who was assured of a gold medal in his fourth attempt, told reporters, “I don’t know why my first throw was not measured.” The throw distances of the second and third competitors immediately after me were measured. I kept asking what happened in my first attempt.

He said, “I was in a state of confusion because this had never happened in any of the competitions I had participated in till now. I think they forgot the place where my javelin had fallen.” The second throw of Kishore Jena, another Indian player who won a silver medal in this event, was also initially declared invalid but the decision was later changed. Indian Athletics Federation senior vice-president Anju Bobby George accused the authorities of deliberately targeting Indians.

“He was trying to cheat us and distract our athletes,” Anju said. The first throw from Neeraj was brilliant and there was an attempt to cause chaos here. We asked Neeraj to lodge a protest there itself. Jena’s throw was also fouled even though she threw the javelin from one foot behind. It is very difficult to win in China, even if we field our best athletes, they will try to trouble them.
