World champion javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra said that I do not feel that I have achieved everything

When Javelin athlete Neeraj Chopra talked about the ‘hunger’ of the medal inside Neeraj, he said, ‘There is a saying that there is no last line for javelin throwers. Best of all, we have our spear. We can always outdo ourselves. I may have won many medals, but the motivation is to throw javelin further and further. After winning the gold medal on Sunday, Chopra spoke to members of the media on a Zoom call from Budapest about his next plan.

He said, ‘By winning this medal, I should not think that I have achieved everything. I will work hard to win more medals and bring more laurels for my country. I am hungry for more medals. Let us tell you, the one achievement left for Neeraj is to cross the coveted 90 meter mark. The talk of throwing 90 meters has been going on for the last two-three years. Neeraj insisted that one day he would surpass this record as well.

Will throw javelin even 90 meters one day: Neeraj Chopra Athlete Neeraj said, ‘I am feeling very good for the last two years. This year I thought I would throw 90m. After my second throw (for 88.17m), I thought I could clear 90m today, but I couldn’t. He said that I had a groin injury at the beginning of the season. This injury created problems. I threw very close to 90m last year. He said that ‘I will also throw 90 meter throw in a day. This day will also come, but don’t know when it will come. I don’t take the pressure of thinking about it.

“What is more important for me and for the country is the medal. I value consistency more. This gives confidence in the big championships. When I reach 90m, I will try again and maintain consistency. I am working hard for this.

Winning the World Championship is bigger than the Olympics for me: For Nirjan Niraj, becoming a World Champion was a dream because this championship is tougher than the Olympics. He said that the Olympic gold was very special, but winning the World Championships is huge. Let me tell you, Neeraj praised the other two Indians in the final – Kishore Jena and D. P. Manu. Both impressed on the big stage. Jena finished fifth with a throw of 84.77m (his personal best), while Manu finished sixth with a personal best of 84.14m.

Exceptional performance by Kishore Jena and D.P. Manu as well: ChopraJavelin athlete Neeraj Chopra said, ‘The good thing about the final was that not only did I win, but there were two other Indians who performed really well. I’m really happy for teen Jenna. He did his personal best. Even D.P. Manu did exceptionally well. It is a great achievement for India that both are in the top six. In such a big competition, both of them did not show any nervousness and gave their best. This gives us hope that we will do well in next year’s Olympics.

“I was talking to Adil (Sumariwala) sir (president of the Athletics Federation of India) about developing a mondo track in India after this kind of performance at this level of competition,” he said. Let us tell you, Mondo Track is a trademarked synthetic track, which is used for track and field athletics. It has been developed by Mondo world wide, who are known to be among the best in the field of manufacturing track and field surfacing.

We always had India-Pakistan talk at home: Neeraj On his ‘competition’ with Pakistani silver-medal thrower Arshad Nadeem on Sunday, Neeraj says he doesn’t see Nadeem as his rival when he takes to the track Let’s think He said that ‘in both the countries it is being made like an Indo-Pak competition. Before a tournament, I don’t use mobile phone much, but today when I opened it, I saw India vs Pakistan everywhere. That’s perfectly fine. At home we always talk about India-Pakistan. It makes good headlines, but in global events we have to focus on each and every competitor. If you look at the European athletes, they are very good. They can do anything, anytime.
