World Champion Neeraj Chopra: As he builds towards his ultimate goal — a top finish at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo — Olympic and World Champion Neeraj Chopra says he isn’t placing himself under the pressure of chasing 90-metre throws every time he steps out, though he’s quietly confident ahead of the Golden Spike meet in Ostrava on Tuesday.

“I feel good, but I don't want to put any pressure on myself for 90m. But I'll try really hard,” Chopra said told reporters ahead of Tuesday’s Golden Spike Athletics meet . “I've already thrown 90m this year after a little bit more improvement in technique. So let's see when it comes next time, but I am ready.”

The 27-year-old javelin superstar, fresh off his Paris Diamond League win (88.16m) over German Julian Weber, is focusing more on technical refinement than chasing numbers every meet. “Recently we've done a good training in Nymburk (Czech Republic), so I'll do my best here in Ostrava,” he added.
