Neeraj Chopra gave information

In a social media post, Neeraj said that after the recent throwing session, I decided not to participate in Ostrava. Because I felt something in the adductor (upper part of the thigh). I have had problems with this before and pushing at this level can cause injury. I want to make it clear that I am not injured but I do not want to take any risk in the Olympic year, so the decision had to be taken. I will return to the tournament once I am fully recovered.

Recently won gold
