“It’s just the beginning,” Neeraj said in a post-event interview. “I’m confident that in the next competitions I will throw more.”
Neeraj Chopra began the meet with what was then a world-leading mark of 88.44m. The reigning world champion fouled on his second attempt but followed it up with the 90.23m throw to reset the Indian national record.
Though Germany’s Julian Weber snatched the win with a 91.06m throw – also first 90m throw of his career – on his final attempt, Neeraj was all smiles after the event.
“I’m happy for Julian too. We have both worked very hard over the years to break 90m,” Neeraj said.”It was a good push for both of us and we’ll keep pushing each other to go even further (this season).”
