There has been talk of breaking the 90m barrier for the last three-four years but Chopra said it is not a mental barrier for him. He said, ‘I am feeling very good this year and I thought I would throw 90 meters. But there was a problem with the groin injury. I was throwing around 90 meters last year. One day this hurdle will also be crossed but there is no pressure. He said, ‘More important is the medal. I believe in continuity. This will be the philosophy even when I cross 90 metres. I am working hard and waiting for it.
Chopra said winning the world championship gold was a dream come true. “After the Olympic gold, I wanted to win the world championship. I wanted to get better at throwing. It was my dream. Chopra missed three top events this year due to a groin injury. After 30 June, he landed directly in the World Championship. On his rivalry with silver medalist Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan, he said, “I don’t see it as an India-Pakistan rivalry. I don’t use mobile before the tournament but when I played mobile there were talks of India vs Pakistan all around.
“In the country we always talk about India vs Pakistan which is good for competition but in global tournaments one has to focus on all the competitors,” he added. He said that he spoke to Nadeem after the final and he is happy for him. He said, ‘We talked about the fact that both countries are moving forward in athletics. Earlier javelin throw was dominated by Europeans but now we are winning against them. People press for India-Pakistan rivalry. It will be more during the Asian Games. There is rivalry but I believe keep it healthy and trust yourself.
