Indian javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra is preparing for the Ostrava meet on June 24, a key event in his 2025 season. Fresh from winning the Paris Diamond League with a best throw of 88.16 metres, Chopra is focused on improving his core strength and throwing control to enhance his performance.

Since his historic gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Chopra has faced intense scrutiny over crossing the 90m mark, a milestone he first achieved at the Doha Diamond League. Despite narrowly missing it at other events, his recent performances, including a silver at the Paris Olympics and medals at the World Athletics Championships, have cemented his status as a top contender.

Chopra described the Ostrava meet as 'one of the greatest competitions in track and field', highlighting its significance in his competitive calendar. His focus on physical conditioning and technical control reflects his ambition to make the 2025 season a defining chapter in his career.

"I need some more control when I throw, like on the attack," he said, emphasizing the technical improvements he aims to achieve.

With the Ostrava event approaching, all eyes will be on Chopra as he seeks to build on his recent successes and push beyond previous limits in the javelin arena.
