Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra became the first Indian athlete ever to win the prestigious Diamond League final on Thursday in Zurich.

When I get to the final it was a big achievement in 2017. I want to get all the big medals. I did well at the worlds and felt I would do well at the CWG also. I knew I had time to prepare for the Lausanne Diamond League. At Zurich I knew that it was my last competition of the season. It was important to make the decision quickly because the Commonwealth Games was just about to happen. It took a couple of days to make that decision (to skip the Commonwealth Games). I spoke to the coach and phsyio. I was still trying to throw well until the final throw of the competition. The goal is to keep focus until the last throw of the competition. He also spoke not just about how he approached the season but about how his mind was already thinking of the season to come. It was difficult to balance all my commitments, but I have learned now how to balance things.

Tokyo Olympic champion Chopra won the Diamond Trophy for men's javelin on Thursday, becoming the first Indian to do so.

“It was challenging because we had to train, then cook, then train in the evening and then cook food again. It all depends on how you perform on that day, how you handle the situation... In 2018, he won gold at the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games. Now suddenly the date for the National Games has come up,” he told reporters in the interaction organised by Athletics Federation of India. “At that time, I used to train in Panchkula. And with it, he became the first from the country to win a medal at every major event there is in his sport. So, (competing at the National Games) will be a bit risky. Amidst his return this year though was the groin injury he picked up at Eugene – which forced him out of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Main usko apna Commonwealth Games, Asian Games maan ke gaya tha, (I considered it my Commonwealth Games and Asian Games) because all the big athletes were there. It will help them in terms of experience too,” the 24-year-old said.

Risky for me to participate in National Games: Neeraj Chopra (The Indian Express)

Diamond League champion's coach has advised rest as he has just recovered from a groin injury.

A BWF Super 100 event that offers ranking points and total prize money of $75,000, the Vietnam Open is scheduled to be held in Ho Chi Minh City from September 27 to October 2. However, officials said around a dozen shuttlers decided to pull out of the competition on Monday, September 5, which was the last day to withdraw entries. On Thursday, he said his first priority is to return to the court instead of competing in the National Games. So the priority is to get back on court first,” Srikanth said. I had spoken to the coach and he said I need to rest. Ranking points in these two events are crucial, especially for Sindhu who has set the year-ending World Tour Finals, with a hefty tournament prize cheque of USD 15,00,000, as a priority tournament.
