Neeraj Chopra carried a billion hopes

He underlined the importance of being consistent

Chopra said meeting athletes from other sports also important

India’s Neeraj Chopra exuded confidence as he takes part in the Asian Games 2023, being held in China. And as he participates, he carries the expectations of a billion people for a gold medal! 

He said, “I am very close to it. I want to hit that throw myself. I believe in the process. Whenever it will happen, it will happen. I am not in a hurry. I am happy with my consistent performances, this is my main focus.”

The Indian star also underlined the importance of being consistent.

“It is not about being consistent in throw, but also in training. Keep training well and work on your technique. This leads to improvement. Last year, I made two national records, it was nice. I made improvements. This year I felt good, but injuries proved to be a temporary obstacle. Feels good to be consistent,” he added. 

On the importance of meeting athletes from other sports, he added, “I always feel nice at the games. There’s an energetic atmosphere at the venue. We meet other athletes belonging to other Sports. There is always a positive in this event, like the Asian games. It has been raining over the past few days, but hopefully, it will improve in the next period.”
