National Federation Cup Senior Athletics: Olympic medalist Neeraj Chopra secured the top spot at the Paavo Nurmi Games on Tuesday with a throw of 85.97 meters on his third attempt but was quick to reveal the persistent adductor niggle that has impacted his season so far.

Chopra, who made history by becoming the first Indian to win a track and field medal at the Tokyo Olympics, revealed his ongoing struggle with the adductor issue, stating his intention to consult various doctors after the Paris Olympics to address the persistent problem.

"The weather was good today, a little bit cold with the wind. But I am happy with my adductor now because I could do all six throws," Chopra said after his win. "Every year I have some problems with my adductor, maybe after the Olympics, I am going to talk to different doctors."
