Olympian Neeraj Chopra To Visit Odisha For 27th National Federation Cup Athletics Championships From May 12-15

Before the Federation Cup, the World Championships, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games champion will be taking part at the Doha Diamond League meet on May 10. Neeraj will be competing in the men’s javelin throw event in Doha along with compatriot Kishore Jena.

Neeraj had spoken about his goals for the season previously.

“I want to be in best possible shape before the Paris Olympics. My training sessions have gone off really well so far. I always lay stress on fitness along with strength and technique. This is the best I have felt in a long time but I must add that training and competition are not the same. When you wear the India jersey, the feeling is different, the josh (energy) is unbelievable,” Neeraj told SAI Media.

Talking about the elusive 90-metre mark, the 26-year-old Neeraj said again that ‘distance doesn’t matter to him.’
