NEW DELHI: Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra, who bettered his national record in his very first event since the Olympics, has already set his eyes on the next events and said that he is aiming to improve further in the coming months. Neeraj set the new NR with a throw of 89.30 metres at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Finland, an effort which fetched him a silver at the meet. Oliver Helander, the local favourite, topped the list with a throw of 89.83m.
"This was my first competition since the Tokyo Olympics and it went really well as in the first competition itself, I hit my personal best throw and also won the silver medal. Now I am aiming for the next few events which would be bigger than this and of course the Commonwealth Games, where I will face a lot of competition." Neeraj said speaking to SAI.
