Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra stated on Friday that he wished to be in peak physical condition prior to the start of the July 26 Olympics in Paris.
Before Paris, I want to be in the best possible shape. So far, my training sessions have gone incredibly well. Along with strength and technique, fitness is something I always emphasise. Although I must emphasise that training and competition are not the same, this is the best I have felt in a long time. He told SAI Media, “The feeling is different, the josh (energy) is unbelievable when you wear the India jersey.
“Distance doesn’t matter to him,” the 26-year-old repeated when discussing the elusive 90-meter mark. At a German winter meet recently, young German athlete Max Dehning threw the javelin 90.20 metres. In response, Chopra stated that it “did not add any pressure” and that it merely signified the intense competition that will exist this year.
“It’s important to me to maintain peak physical condition, maintain consistency throughout the season, and perform well on crucial days.” I believe that one must constantly improve because there are mistakes to be corrected and because competition is getting fiercer everywhere. If you believe you have completed the task, the road will close, he warned.
“I have won medals in two World Championships, threw my personal best (89.94 metres at Stockholm), won a dream Diamond League title, and even defended my gold at the Asian Games,” he said, discussing how his performance in Tokyo showed that his preparation for international competitions was going well. Overall, I’ve been in a great place, and I want to keep moving forward starting in May.
