Neeraj Chopra is not a question but an answer. On the strength of Neeraj’s javelin answer in Tokyo and Eugene, India is waiting for miracles in the Asian Games as well. Neeraj says the goal is only a medal in the Asian Games, not the 90m, which is always a question. “One hundred percent effort will be made for the medal. Nothing is spared for the Paris Olympics. Mind and body are 100 percent fit. Let the person at the top decide the matter” – said Neeraj on Saturday at the Asian Games venue. Neeraj’s javelin throw competition is on Wednesday.

Hangzhou

Here is a good situation. Feel good energy. Always love tournaments like this. Isn’t it during these matches that you see all the other players and coaches… There are big changes when you get to Hangzhou from the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games. The dream was to win a medal in the Olympics and World Championships. He achieved all that in four years. Now there is an obligation to maintain the gold.

preparation

It was a good season. He won medals in both the World Championship and the Diamond League. It was a dream. Happy. There were many challenges. Abdominal pain was painful. Because of that, three championships were lost in the season. After that he regained fitness following treatment and rest. The new javelin was used in the Diamond League finals. It wasn’t very good.

It’s time for the Olympics

There is still time for the Olympics. Until then, staying fit is important. That is the challenge. The goal was to be fit until the Asian Games. Not thinking much regarding the Olympics now.

Weather

Little worry regarding the weather. Hope it gets better on match day. We cannot face such challenges. The only way is to prepare the mind for adverse situations.

Everyone is friends

Good relations with everyone in athletics. There are often questions regarding the relationship with Pakistani star Arshad. It is a pleasure to compete with anyone. I want everyone to throw me. Wish each other well. Message will be given. Although it is a Games Village, training and food are combined. It’s a feeling only athletes can understand.

message

All the young players have to do is enjoy playing without pressure. That’s how I threw at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. There is nothing to lose when we are innovators. Even if you lose, it’s a lesson. Always be able to play with the same passion.
