Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra talks life

Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra has been on a roll since Tokyo 2020 last year. After his gold at the Olympics, the 24-year-old javelin thrower added a silver medal at the World Athletics Championships this year, the second Indian to medal after Anju Bobby George's 2003 Worlds medal. In 2022, he became the first Indian to win the Diamond League Finals Trophy. In a candid conversation with TNIE Sports Editor Indraneel Das, Neeraj opens up about his time away from the sport, his perspective on mental health, relationships with coach Klaus Bartonietz and other athletes, the 90m hurdle and more.
