Burden Of Expectations Weigh Heavy On The Shoulders Of Indian Athletes

By IANS News September 17, 2023 • 14:04 PM View: 292

Asian Indoor Athletics Championships: Been there, done that -- Indian athletics' golden boy Neeraj Chopra will defend the men's javelin throw title he won in Jakarta in 2018 at the Asian Games starting in Hangzhou, China, on September 23.

But will he actually participate in Hangzhou? That is a million-dollar question, and the answer to this will be out only after the competition begins.

Besieged by injuries this season, Chopra made history by winning the gold at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, last month.
