What did Neeraj say after the event?
After winning the silver medal in the Paris Olympics, Neeraj Chopra believes that there is scope for improvement in his fitness and technique. On Thursday, in the men’s javelin throw competition, he made the second-best throw of his career but could not win the gold medal. Expressing his disappointment after the competition, Neeraj said, “It was a good throw but I am not that happy with my performance today. My technique and runway were not that good. I only made one throw, I fouled the rest.”
Regarding the throw that won him the medal in his second attempt, Neeraj said, “For the second throw, I had confidence in myself that I too can throw this far. But in javelin throw, if your run is not good, you cannot throw very far.”
Reigning World and Asian Games champion Neeraj Chopra also said that regular injuries ahead of Paris 2024 hampered his preparations for his title defence. 26-year-old Neeraj said, “The last two or three years have not been so good for me. I’m always injured. I worked hard, but I need to work on my injury and technique.”
Neeraj’s preparations for Paris 2024 were hampered by problems with his adductor muscles, which forced him to sit out other tournaments, including the Ostrava Golden Spike. The Indian javelin thrower had earlier said in an interview that adductor problems have been a hindrance for him for the last few years. After the Olympics, Neeraj will now take advice from experts on this. He said that in training I am not throwing too much because of my injury. But I will work hard in the future.
Neeraj concluded with a congratulatory message to his rival and good friend Arshad Nadeem. He said, “Today’s competition was great. Arshad Nadeem bowled well. Congratulations to him and his country.” Nadeem’s medal was the first individual Olympic gold won by a Pakistani athlete at the Olympics. It was also the country’s first medal since Barcelona 1992.
