It’s Not How I Had Hoped To End The Season: Neeraj Chopra On Eighth-place Finish At Athletics Worlds
World Athletics Championships: Indian javelin ace Neeraj Chopra voiced disappointment after finishing eighth in the men’s final at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, admitting the result was far from how he had envisioned closing out his season.
Chopra, who was the defending champion heading to Tokyo 25 having won the gold medal in Budapest two years ago, registered an underwhelming best effort of 84.03m at the National Stadium in Japan to be placed eighth. The last time he had finished outside the top three was at the 2018 Continental Cup in Czechia, where he was placed sixth.
"It’s not how I had hoped to end the season, at the World Championships in Tokyo. I wanted to step out there and give my best for India despite all the challenges but it wasn’t my night," the two-time Olympic medallist wrote in an Instagram post.
