Late Bloomer Kishore Jena And One-time Fast-Bowler DP Manu Rise In Shadow Of Neeraj Chopra
One is a late bloomer who switched to javelin from volleyball due to his "short" stature and the other was a fast-bowler before his initiation into throwing "bamboo spears" by his school teacher. Having eventually established themselves as India's top javelin throwers, Kishore Jena and DP Manu now have one thing in common: to emulate Olympic and world champion Neeraj Chopra. Jena and Manu created Indian athletics history along with Chopra as the three participants, in a first, finished in the top six in the World Championships.
