'Competing And Organising At The Same Time Is Challenging': Neeraj Chopra On Dual Roles At NC Classic 2025
The Neeraj Chopra Classic: As double Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra steps into the shoes of both an organiser and an athlete, he admitted the dual role has been challenging as he juggles between organising an international javelin event while also preparing to compete.
The Neeraj Chopra Classic, sanctioned by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) and co-organised by two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra and JSW Sports, has attracted elite talent from around the globe. This is India's first international Javelin event set to take place at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium here on Saturday.
Speaking at the press conference, Chopra opened up about the complexities of taking on dual responsibilities and said, “The toughest part is just thinking about such an event and then competing in it,” he said. “Organising is one thing, but playing alongside that is really challenging. Until now, my only focus was on playing. But now, I have to take care of everything.”
