Neeraj Chopra Announces Comeback at Lausanne Diamond League, Will Consult Doctor Later

New Delhi: Neeraj Chopra, India’s javelin sensation, continues to shine brightly on the global athletics stage following his historic silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Refusing to rest on his laurels, the 26-year-old has remained in Europe, where he is training intensively in Magglingen, Switzerland, under the guidance of his coach Klaus Bartonietz and physio Ishaan Marwaha.

Neeraj’s decision to stay in Europe and maintain his rigorous training regimen demonstrates his unwavering commitment to excellence. In a recent interaction organized by JSW, Chopra confirmed that he will be participating in the upcoming Lausanne Diamond League, which is set to begin on August 22. This announcement came as a surprise to many, especially after reports suggested that Neeraj might have remained in Europe to seek medical attention for an injury. However, Chopra was quick to dispel any concerns.

“Fortunately, the Paris Olympics went well, and I didn’t face significant issues with my injury. So I decided to complete the season and seek medical advice afterward,” Chopra clarified. His focus remains firmly on finishing the season on a high note before addressing any health concerns.

Looking ahead, Neeraj Chopra revealed that he plans to return to India at the end of September, following the conclusion of the season. Upon his return, he intends to consult with a doctor about the groin issues that have troubled him but did not hinder his performance in Paris.

Neeraj Chopra’s relentless dedication and determination continue to inspire fans worldwide as he prepares for his next challenge at the Lausanne Diamond League. His commitment to the sport, even in the face of challenges, underscores his status as one of India’s greatest athletes.
