Neeraj Chopra can get tough competition from this player in World Athletics Championship

Neeraj Chopra has put everything from Olympic, Asian and Commonwealth Games to Diamond League titles in his bag. Although till now Neeraj Chopra has not become the world champion. Meanwhile, the World Championship is going to start in Budapest from Saturday i.e. August 19, in which India’s star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra will take the field with the aim of becoming the world champion for the first time.

Even before this he has participated in this competition but then he had to face defeat from American player Eugene. But this time Neeraj Chopra will enter the fray after achieving many wonderful achievements. Neeraj is in high spirits after winning the Doha and Lausanne Diamond Leagues. In such a situation, it may be difficult for his fellow players to stop him from becoming the world champion this time. It is believed that by winning this league, Neeraj Chopra will end another drought.

After winning the Diamond League, Neeraj Chopra has not only been able to win the World Championship. This year, in whatever league Neeraj Chopra has participated, he has been successful in winning that league. So far only two players from India have been able to win medals in the World Championships. In this, Neeraj Chopra won the silver medal in Oregon 2022. Whereas Anju had won the bronze medal 20 years ago. Despite all the positive sentiments, his performance in the season shows that if Neeraj Chopra doesn’t lead from the start, as he did in Tokyo, it won’t be easy going forward.

Will compete with these players
According to the data, Neeraj Chopra is third in this season’s best list – his 88.67m, just behind Julian Weber and world leader Czech Jakub Wadlage’s 88.72m (89.51m). A former student of Jan Zelezny, who won in 1993, 95 and 2001, the 32-year-old Czech looks the most consistent and will be determined to rectify his past mistakes on the big stage.

Please tell that if Neeraj Chopra becomes the world champion this time, then he will be the second player from the country after shooter Abhinav Bindra to become Olympic and world champion. India’s campaign will begin with the 3000m steeplechase race, in which Avinash Sable, long jumper Shelly Singh, Praveen Chittervel, Abdullah Abubakar, Aldos Paul in the triple jump and Ajay Kumar Saroj in the 1500m will compete.
