Neeraj Chopra Set To Resume Olympic Build-up At Paavo Nurmi Games In Finland
Forced into a short break to mend a niggle, Olympic and world champion javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra will return to competitive action at the Paavo Nurmi Games here on Tuesday against a stellar field, hoping to continue his build-up to Paris Games with renewed vigour. The 26-year-old superstar, the lone Indian in the field here, will be up against German teenaged sensation Max Dehning, who is the youngest member of the coveted 90m club, which Chopra is aspiring to enter. The 19-year-old is being seen as a major competition for Chopra when he defends his Tokyo Games gold medal in Paris.
