Unwilling to put himself under pressure of regular 90m throws, Indian javelin throw star Neeraj Chopra says he has a good feeling about Tuesday’s Golden Spike Athletics meet here as he builds up for his ultimate goal this year — a top finish at the World Championship in Tokyo.

Success at Diamond League

Chopra defeated Julian Weber to win the Paris Diamond League with a throw of 88.16m last week. The two-time Olympic medallist said with Czech great Jan Zelezny by his side as his coach, he is confident of good results.

The 27-year-old is riding high on his maiden 90m plus throw that he achieved in the season-opening Diamond League meet in Doha. “I am really happy to work with such a great athlete and coach. I’ve already thrown 90m this year after little bit more improvement in technique. So let’s see when it comes next time but I am ready. Recently we’ve done a good training in Nymburk [Czech Republic] so I’ll do my best here in Ostrava,” he said.
