Chopra then visited Panipat’s SAI center where he met his first coach Jaiveer Choudhary who was amazed at seeing his 40 meters throw without any technical knowledge or guidance.

Neeraj Chopra Career

Neeraj Chopra started javelin throwing at an age of just 13 and was determined to succeed in this game. He didn’t have good training facilities and a proper coach in his early phase as Javelin Throw is not a famous sport in India. He used to download videos from YouTube to learn about how professionals train. First breakthrough came in 2012 when he set a national record in the National Junior Athletics Championship.

His first international outing was at the World Youth Championships in Ukraine in 2013. After struggling for good training facilities for most of the early phase, he finally got a national call up in 2015 which provided him the needed facilities which improved his game drastically. In 2016, India first time heard his name after he clinched the gold medal at the 2016 South Asian Games.

After 2016, Neeraj conquered every event in which he participated. He won gold medals in Asian Championships, Commonwealth Games, Asian Games and set his sights on the ultimate goal of Olympic glory at Tokyo 2020.

In 2019, all of a sudden he had problems in his right elbow which ruled him out of World Championships and had to go through surgery. He was all set to miss the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as rehabilitation was lengthy but the Corona virus came as a blessing in disguise and the Olympics got postponed for one year which provided Neeraj time to regain his fitness and eventually he won a gold medal.
