Neeraj Chopra added another first to his already burgeoning list of achievements with the Diamond League Finals trophy on Thursday, but the Olympic champion knows how to keep himself grounded. Not forgetting his early struggles is part of that.
“The important thing is to leave your comfort zone. Coming from school, rushing to catch the bus, going to the stadium to train every day, taking lifts on the way back — it was difficult, but I enjoyed the routine. Back then I never thought I would reach this level but I really enjoyed those challenges and that has brought me this far,” Neeraj said in an interaction on Friday.
