The two -time world champion Grenada’s Anderson Peters (individual best 93.07 meters) will also be included in Poland with a 2022 European champion and 2024 silver medalist Weber.

Chopra is trying to throw a spear up to 90 meters since crossing the 88 meter mark in 2018. Feeling relief that he finally got burdened by his shoulders, he said that ‘this was just the beginning’ and he would try to throw more spears in the coming long session.

The target for 90+ distances is the World Championship to be held in Tokyo in September, where he will defend his title. The back problem of Chopra’s performance in the last few years is no longer present. His confidence has increased even more after practicing under the guidance of the great player John Jelzney, who holds the world record of the longest throw. Chopra said in Doha, “I and my coaches are still working on some aspects of my throw.” I am still learning things. We started working together in February this year. Therefore, I am confident that I will be able to throw more than 90 meters in the pre-world championship this year. This tournament in Poland will be Chopra’s third tournament of this season.
