NEW DELHI: Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra is aiming to remain “injury-free” as he gears up for a long and gruelling season ahead — which includes the upcoming athletics World Championships and his title defence of Diamond League Finals and Asian Games.
Neeraj, who made an impressive return to the field winning the Diamond League javelin throw title in Lausanne with a best throw of 87.66m on Friday night, admitted on Monday that he was unsure about participating in Lausanne, partly because of injury concerns and for not being at his peak fitness level.
