The World Championships, he remarked, are unquestionably the most important on his radar.
“For me, the World Championships are very important. If the Olympics were my primary aim in 2021, the World Championships would be my primary priority this year. For the time being, I’m coming back to my old fitness levels. Then my coach and physio have a detailed strategy in place for how we’ll exercise in the future and what areas I need to improve. I’ll resume javelin training after I’ve regained my previous fitness levels ” Neeraj remarked.
