India’s javelin star Neeraj Chopra has touched down in Paris
and after arriving at the Olympic Village, he wasted no time in warming
up for his quest to defend his Olympic gold medal. The Haryana-born athlete
will enter the competition as the defending champion after having won a
historic gold at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Despite a challenging lead-up to the
Games due to injuries, Chopra is set to compete in the Men’s Javelin Throw
qualification event on August 6. Check out his ladder jump exercises as part of
his warm-up routine. Also, keep an eye on screen for all the action, as India
faces Belgium in their Hockey group match at 1.30pm today, and Nikhat Zareen
takes on China’s Wu Yu in the Women’s Flyweight boxing round of 16. There is a
lot of excitement around the Olympics already and that has just gone up a notch
with Chopra’s arrival in Paris. Stay tuned!
