After historic feat in Diamond League, Neeraj Chopra to miss National Games

India's star Javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra is all set to miss the upcoming National Games despite the Indian National Olympic Association's step to make the participation of the eminent athletes mandatory in the event. 

The 24-year-old Chopra's busy International schedule has come to an end with a historic win at the Diamond League Finals at Zurich. The reigning



Olympic champion has had a great 2022 season as he has won historic medals during it. But Chopra suffered a groin injury during the World Athletics Championships, where he won the Silver medal. 

Now, in consultation with his coach Dr Klaus Bartonietz, Chopra has decided to skip the National Games which begins from September 29 and prepare for the next crucial season.
