Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra will aim to become India's first-ever World Championship gold medallist when he takes part in the men's javelin throw event at the World Athletics Championship 2022. This will be the second time Chopra will be competing at the senior World Athletics Championships.

Neeraj Chopra targets World Athletics Gold

<p>The Indian athletes are focused on their preparations for the upcoming Commonwealth Games 2022 edition, to be held in Birmingham from June 22. Before that, many are also competing in the ongoing World Athletics Championships, which is taking place&nbsp;in Eugene.</p>

<p>Ever since the World Athletics Meet kicked off on July 15, the ardent Indian fans have been eagerly waiting to see the country's young superstar Neeraj Chopra in action. Neeraj will be taking part in his javelin throw event on the 8th day of the marquee event.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Tokyo Olympic gold-medallist will take the field on July 22 (July 21 in the USA). His qualification round will be held at 5:35 AM IST on Friday (July 22). Given his red-hot form, the qualifying round should be a cakewalk for the 24-year-old. If he qualifies for the final, it will be held on July 24 (i.e. July 23 in USA) and that will start from 7:05 AM IST. Overall, he should be in action twice and also end up with a medal.&nbsp;</p>

This time around, he will certainly aim for gold. Apart from him, even&nbsp;Rohit Yadav will be part of the qualification round. He will&nbsp;also return on Sunday if he reaches&nbsp;the final.</p>

<p>India's golden boy Neeraj Chopra continued his stellar run at the Kuortane Games in Finland on Saturday (June 18) as he clinched his first gold medal of 2022. After winning a silver medal at the Paavo Nurmi Games earlier this week, Chopra finished on top of the podium at the Kuortane Games with his best throw of 86.69m. The Tokyo Olympics gold medallist was up against world champion&nbsp;Anderson Peters of Grenada among others and came out on top.</p>

<p>Taking part in just his second tournament after the Tokyo Olympics last year, Chopra came up with a throw of 86.69m in his first attempt at the Kuortane Games on Saturday. He later made a foul in his second attempt before having a nasty fall in his third attempt.</p>

<p>In rainy conditions on the field, Chopra fell during his third throw but was fortunate to avoid any major injuries. It appeared to be a nasty fall but the Indian superstar was quick to get back on his feet to indicate he was fine. His first attempt of 86.69m was enough to pip his opponents Peters and Trinidad and Tobago's Keshorn Walcott to help him clinch the elusive gold medal.</p>

Neeraj Chopra wins gold medal in Kuortane Games, his first since Tokyo Olympics

<p>Neeraj Chopra became the darling of the nation ever since the 23-year-old brought the country its first-ever Olympic medal in athletics by winning gold in the men's javelin throw final in Tokyo 2020. Since then, Neeraj has been in demand and extremely&nbsp;busy with several commercial commitments and various interactions on public platforms.</p>

<p>As a result, the javelin thrower is now on a much-needed break and has travelled to Maldives -- a popular spot for various celebrities worldwide -- for a vacation. However, seems like javelin is still in Neeraj's mind as he shared a video of replicating his javelin throw underwater.</p>

<p>He captioned the post,&nbsp;"Aasman par, zameen pe, ya underwater, I'm always thinking of the javelin!". In addition, he hilariously stated that he has started to train already. He wrote, "PS: Training shuru ho gayi hai" with&nbsp;AR Rehman's version of the patriotic song 'Vande Mataram'&nbsp; being played in the background.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For the unversed, Neeraj won India its seventh medal in the Tokyo 2020 with a splendid 87.58m throw in the men's javelin final at the marquee event. He finished at the top and moved past several big names in the event in what was his maiden Olympic appearance.&nbsp;</p>

Neeraj Chopra became the darling of the nation ever since the 23-year-old brought the country its first-ever Olympic medal in athletics by winning gold in the men's javelin throw final in Tokyo 2020. Since then, Neeraj has been in demand and extremely busy with several commercial commitments and various interactions on public platforms. As a result, the javelin thrower is now on a much-needed break and has travelled to Maldives -- a popular spot for various celebrities worldwide -- for a vacation. However, seems like javelin is still in Neeraj's mind as he shared a video of replicating his javelin throw underwater. He captioned the post, "Aasman par, zameen pe, ya underwater, I'm always thinking of the javelin!". In addition, he hilariously stated that he has started to train already. He wrote, "PS: Training shuru ho gayi hai" with AR Rehman's version of the patriotic song 'Vande Mataram' being played in the background.

Javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra qualifies for 2020 Tokyo Olympics

<p>Commonwealth and Asian Games champion javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra has undergone surgery on the elbow of his throwing arm and faces a race against time to be fully fit before the World Championships in Doha at the end of September.</p>

<p>The 21-year-old Indian has not competed since picking up the injury to his right elbow late last year and was working extensively on his core strengthening and flexibility with an eye on the World Championships.</p>

<p>The former world junior champion underwent an arthroscopy procedure to remove bone fragments which were causing him discomfort on Thursday and was released from the Mumbai hospital on Friday.</p>

<p>"Undergone elbow surgery in Mumbai by Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala," Chopra said in a social media post, accompanied by a picture of him lying on a hospital bed with his right arm in an elbow brace.</p>

<p>"Will require some months of rehabilitation before I can start back with throwing. Hoping to return stronger.</p>

<p>"Every setback is a setup for a comeback. God wants to bring you out better than you were before."</p>

<p>Last year, Chopra became only the third man to win an athletics gold for India at the Commonwealth Games after sprinter Milkha Singh in 1958 and discus thrower Vikas Gowda in 2014.</p>

<p>A throw of 86.47 metres was enough to take the title on the Gold Coast and he followed that up with 87.43 metres at the Diamond League leg in Doha in May.</p>

<p>At the Asiad in Jakarta he threw even further, clearing a season's best distance of 88.06 metres for the title -- placing him sixth on the IAAF top list for 2018.</p>

<p>Hailing from the Northern Indian state of Haryana, which is better known for producing wrestlers and kabaddi players, Chopra is currently ranked fifth in the IAAF world rankings in javelin.</p>

<p>He was targeting a throw of 92 metres and finish in the top six at the World Championships in Doha.</p>

<p>"Neeraj went through consultations with doctors in India and his scans were sent to multiple international experts as well, who all suggested that the elbow arthroscopy would be the best alternative," said Manisha Malhotra, Head of Sports Excellence at JSW Sports, the organisation which manages the athlete.</p>

<p>"After considering all options and feedback, Neeraj decided to stay in India and undergo the procedure."</p>
