Neeraj Chopra To Participate In Lausanne Diamond League Meet
Chopra, who came into the final as the favourite with a brilliant effort of 89.34m in the qualifying, threw the javelin to 89.45m, his second-best ever effort, a clear improvement on the 87.58m that bagged him the gold medal in Tokyo. But that did not prove enough for the reigning World Champion and Diamond League final winner as Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem, his good friend in the sport, upstaged him by setting the Olympic record to win the gold medal with a monster heave of 92.97m.
"Nadeem is a very hardworking player and competed against him is always full of positivity and that day too I was quite sure that we would have a good fight," said Chopra to IANS in a virtual interaction arranged by JSW. "After he made a Olympic record in his second attempt it created pressure on everyone, but since I had competed him previously I was quite sure that I will break his record after my second attempt which was close to 90, but somehow my body didn't allow."
