Neeraj Chopra shared how a cynical injury refused to throw a goal filled with almost a medal and more sports news
Olympic and world champion Neeraj Chopra has revealed that an early injury has once left uncertain doctors whether he will be able to throw a spear again at any time. In a recent video posted on the Instagram handle of Duoolingo, the athlete reflected a wrist fracture, which he saw while playing on a basketball court, not during training. “It was an injury when I was not even training,” Neeraj shared. “I was mischief. I was holding a basketball ring while jumping and suddenly fell. My wrist was fractured and it was to be in plaster for a long time. It was the same hand that I used to throw a spear.” Injury, he said, it was more serious than appearing. The doctors were initially uncertain whether he would achieve complete functionality, let them return to competitive game alone. “At that time, I felt that I would never be able to do it,” he accepted. Despite the foggy situation, Neeraj credited his mindset and the dream of representing India to help push it. “As soon as I started feeling better, I knew that I had to do it again. It was my dream that kept my mindset strong.” Now an Olympic gold medalist and world champion, Neeraj shared the story as part of a comprehensive message for students and young athletes. He urged him to be strong in front of failures and did not lose his goals.
