NEW DELHI: Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra held his first press conference of the New Year with Indian journalists on Saturday afternoon and found himself peppered with familiar queries about his impending 90m-mark, rivalries with Johannes Vetter, Anderson Peters and Thomas Rohler and targets leading up to the 2024 Paris Games.
Neeraj wasn’t flustered and politely answered each and every question – even repetitive at times – demonstrating a calm demeanour and clarity of thought. However, one question the Eugene World Championships silver medallist himself felt should have been nipped in the bud last year was his relentless pursuit to hurl the javelin past the 90m mark.
