Athletics: Neeraj Chopra vs Arshad Nadeem at Poland Diamond League hits block - here's why

Neeraj Chopra and Arshad Nadeem (PTI Photo) The much-awaited clash between Olympic medallists Neeraj Chopra and Arshad Nadeem in the upcoming Diamond League may not happen, following a recent surgery on Nadeem's calf muscle. The Indian and Pakistani javelin stars were set to compete against each other in Silesia, Poland on August 16, marking their first meeting since the 2024 Paris Olympics final. In that memorable event, Nadeem won gold with a stunning throw of 92.97m, while Chopra took silver with a best effort of 89.45m. The duo were also expected to face off in Switzerland next month. However, Nadeem's coach Salman Butt, currently in England with the athlete, revealed that the reigning Olympic champion is uncertain to compete in both events. The focus, Butt said, is on returning fully fit for the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo in September. 'He (Nadeem) is more focussed on preparing for the World Championships in Tokyo in September which is why he decided to have the surgery on his calf muscle which had been bothering for a while now,' Butt said, as quoted by PTI. 'I don't think they will compete against each other until the World event,' he added. The procedure was performed by Dr Ali Bajwa at Spire Hospital in Cambridge. Nadeem is now undergoing rehabilitation in London. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Una strategia mirata per il tuo futuro finanziario eToro Click Here Undo Butt further stated that depending on his recovery, Nadeem could possibly take part in one event before the Tokyo Worlds.

Stefanos Tsitsipas parts ways with Goran Ivanisevic; to re-unite with father Apostolos

Stsefanos Tsitsipas in practice session (in black) as Goran Ivanisevic (R) watches on. (Getty Images) Former World No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas has ended his brief coaching partnership with Goran Ivanisevic after just two tournaments. The Greek tennis star, now ranked 29th globally, is returning to work with his father Apostolos following poor results and public criticism from the Croatian about his fitness levels. Tsitsipas confirmed the split through a statement, saying, "Working with Goran Ivanišević was a brief but intense experience and a truly valuable chapter in my journey." Ivanišević, who previously coached Novak Djokovic, told The Athletic that the split was amicable. He supported Tsitsipas's decision to return to his father, noting, "He had his best results with his father, his father knows him the best so I agree that is the right decision." Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Their partnership started during the French Open but quickly soured. Under Ivanišević, Tsitsipas won only one match at the Halle Open before losing to Luciano Darderi. He then retired with a back injury in the first round of Wimbledon against Valentin Royer. The relationship became strained when Ivanišević publicly criticised Tsitsipas's fitness. "I was shocked. I have never seen a more unprepared player in my life. With this knee, I am three times more fit than him. This is really bad," the Croatian coach told SportKlub . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Many Are Watching Tariffs - Few Are Watching What Nvidia Just Launched Seeking Alpha Read More Undo Tsitsipas later hinted at his dissatisfaction, telling Sdna , "It is very difficult to have dictators and people who speak negatively and you don't feel like they are close to you like family." The 26-year-old has struggled to maintain his form over the past year. He removed his father from his coaching team last August after losing to Kei Nishikori, then ranked 576th. He's also made equipment changes and tried new tactics but continues to struggle against the evolving playing styles of younger stars like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Tsitsipas's ranking has dropped out of the top 20 for the first time since 2018. For real-time updates, scores, and highlights, follow our live coverage of the India vs England Test match here.
