India's legendary javelin-thrower Neeraj Chopra, who won a silver medal at the Paris Olympics, said that he was fully confident of upstaging Pakistan's eventual gold medallist Arshad Nadeem's giant throw in the final but his less-than-100% physical condition didn't allow that. However, he has confirmed that he will be competing at the Lausanne Diamond League later this month.
Chopra is currently training in Magglingen, Switzerland, with his coach Klaus Bartonietz and physio Ishaan Marwaha.
