It is almost February, and India javelin star Neeraj Chopra will look to defend his Olympic title at Paris 2024, in a few month from now. The Olympics this year, get underway from July 26, and Neeraj has confirmed that he will start competing from May. That means, his pre-Olympic schedule will be a little over two months.
“I am yet to chalk out a final plan, we will do that in March. But most probably, I will start the competition in May,” Neeraj said in an interview with PTI.
The most important factor for Neeraj currently is to say injury-free, and work a bit on technique as well. “Also, I want to remain injury-free. In the past few years, there were small injuries, which caused interruptions in my schedule. So, I have to also work on small exercises to save myself from injuries.

“There should not be any distractions because of those kind of small injuries. I want to be fully fit and give my best in Paris. That is my focus,” he signed off.
