I beat better throwers than me for Olympic gold, cut-throat competition now at World Championships: Neeraj Chopra

"In athletics, it's very simple. If you are throwing, it should be the farthest; if you are jumping, it should be the highest; and if you are running, it should be the fastest" is how Neeraj put it during this interaction. There can't be a simpler way than that to put things into perspective. Neeraj, in fact, is a master of that -- keeping things simple. In a couple of days' time, Neeraj will be at the second biggest stage after his Olympic triumph -- the ongoing World Championships in Oregon, USA, where he will run in to throw the spear to a distance that could potentially fetch India only its second World Championships medal. Former long-jumper Anju Bobby George's 2003 bronze is still the only World Championships medal won by an Indian. Neeraj's current form and decorated run-up to the competition promises to add to that tally.
