Neeraj Chopra is an experienced athlete and is not expected to be different in Tokyo. The throw of 84.50 meters will ensure direct qualification and he would like to complete it in the first time and move forward. This will remind him of his performance at the Tokyo Olympics exactly four years ago. The 86.5 meter throw and the world paid attention to Neeraj Chopra. Then he created history by winning the Olympic gold medal in the final. Memories related to this city will always be fresh and sometimes such things prove to be helpful. It makes you feel relaxed and also affects how you feel that day.
In terms of form, Neeraj will not be considered strong contenders this time. Weber, who has spent the best season of his career, is a completely strong contender, and then Neeraj, Arshad and all the other players are also with him. But for Neeraj, this is always a big platform, he is aware of practice and knows when to reach his peak. He must have analyzed what went wrong in the Diamond League final and will be ready for Tokyo. Staying on podium in 25 consecutive competitions is an incredible record and it is likely that it will continue in Tokyo as well. Amidst so much pressure on him, Neeraj will have to control himself and this will prove to be effective for him. He is not unaware of the big platform and will try his best to keep himself away from external noise.
Neeraj Chopra would not like to think much about India vs Pakistan. Arshad could have defeated him at the Olympics, but overall his record against his opponent is fantastic and Neeraj would like to gain confidence from this. At the Tokyo Olympics, when Neeraj was preparing to throw it, he went to his then coach Claus Bartonitz and sought his last advice. Claus, who had been with Neeraj for a few years, said two very simple words, “Have fun”. This is what Neeraj has to do. If he is enjoying himself, he is such a good player that he should not leave any chance. And if he does so, then the whole of India will enjoy him.
