"Not far for Neeraj to cross 95 metres": Paralympic double gold medalist Sumit Antil
Sonipat (Haryana) [India], July 1 (ANI): India Paralympic double gold medalist javelin thrower Sumit Antil expressed happiness at world champion, Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra crossing 90-metre mark recently, saying that touching 95-m mark is 'not far' with world record holding coach Jan Zelezny by his side. With world record holder Zelezny (98.48 m in 1996) by his side, Neeraj put an end to all talks around him crossing 90-m, touching 90.23 m during Doha Diamond League in May. Speaking to ANI in an interview facilitated by Sun Pharma as a part of their #SecondBirthDate initiative, Sumit revealed his conversations with Neeraj and hailed him as the 'most consistent' athlete he has ever seen. 'Neeraj and I talk a lot. We talk regularly. When he touched the 90-meter mark, I told him that, finally, the biggest question in his life had been answered. Finally, Neeraj has achieved it. We had full faith in him,' he said. 'The athletes know that it is only a matter of days. It can happen any day. After so many times, 88, 89, and 90, it can happen any day. We knew that Neeraj has a lot of motivation from his journey. As an elder brother, we talk a lot. Mostly, we talk about sports. What are the next targets? What is the goal? We keep inspiring each other,' he added. Sumit also said that Neeraj is blessed to have Jan, who he called as 'god of javelin throw' as his coach, who is an inspiration to all. 'As an athlete, it is not far for Neeraj to cross 95 meters. His technique is very good. I have been following him since 2017 when I joined Parasports and did a javelin throw as a game. I have seen positive changes in his run-up and other things,' he added. Sumit hailed Neeraj's consistency, saying that once he touches 95 metres, he would not throw below 90 metres at all. 'I have never seen such a consistent athlete in javelin throw. His coach and Neeraj himself are the best. There are many athletes who have crossed 95 meters once but have not been consistent,' he concluded. Chopra reclaimed his number one spot in men's javelin throw world rankings from Anderson Peters of Grenada following a string of brilliant performances on the international stage. World Athletics updated the rankings earlier this week, increasing Neeraj's points to 1,445 compared to Peters' tally of 1,431, according to Also, Pakistan's Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem sits at number four with 1,370 points to his name. Neeraj lost his top spot to Peters back in September 2024, just shortly after the Paris Olympics, where he attained a silver medal with a throw of 89.45, and Peters took home the bronze. The year 2025 has been incredible for Neeraj, as he kickstarted with a win at the Potch Invitational in Potchefstroom, South Africa, in April and followed it up with a very special second-place finish at Doha Diamond League, where he crossed the 90-metre mark for the first time ever with a throw of 90.23 m. He also went on to secure a second spot in the Janusz Kusocinski Memorial in Poland later that month and resumed his winning ways with back-to-back titles at Paris Diamond League and Ostrava Golden Spike this month, with best efforts of 88.16 m and 85.29 m. Neeraj Chopra Classic event at Bengaluru on July 5 will be his next outing. (ANI)

Nowhere Near What...: Brett Lees Heartwarming Response To Neeraj Chopra On Javelin Throwing Goes Viral
Former Aussie bowler Brett Lee has responded to Indian javelin star Neeraj Chopra's comments on the Australian's javelin throwing ability. Lee's reply came after Neeraj picked him among the cricketers he thinks will do well as javelin throwers. In an interview with JioStar, the official broadcaster of the Neeraj Chopra Classic 2025, the Tokyo Olympic Games gold medallist was asked which cricketer he thinks would be able to throw the javelin. "I have heard that Brett Lee was a javelin thrower. I think he could throw the javelin well, especially when he was in his peak years," said Chopra who is hosting the NC Classic in Bengaluru on July 5, a World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event. In his response to the interview, Lee said he did throw the javelin during his schooling days, but was nowhere near as good as Neeraj. "I did throw the javelin back in my schooling days, but nowhere near what Neeraj does & continues to do," wrote the former Australian pacer in his post on X, formerly Twitter. The 48-year-old explained why he did not continue with javelin despite indulging in it in his school days. He also expressed his admiration for Neeraj Chopra, who is one of the most popular and famous athletes on the international circuit. "Very tough on the elbow. I have, however, admired what this fine athlete can do and wish him well," said Lee. Meanwhile, Chopra, who won back-to-back titles in the Paris Diamond League event and Ostrava Golden Spike meet, also expressed his interest in trying javelin alongside India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. "I would like to try javelin with Jasprit Bumrah too, and hope he teaches me some bowling skills. While bowling and javelin are both throws, they are very different. I would like to learn from Bumrah," he said.

Neeraj Chopra's warm Bengaluru encounter with elderly fan wins hearts
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], July 1 (ANI): Double Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra found himself in a heartwarming encounter with 'a kind-hearted uncle' while strolling down a quiet street in Bengaluru. The unexpected meeting turned into a memorable conversation, showcasing Neeraj's approachable nature and the admiration he garners from fans of all ages. Neeraj Chopra Classic's official Instagram handle posted a heartwarming reel, 'Sometimes, the best moments aren't planned. A quiet street in Bengaluru. A kind-hearted uncle. And a javelin legend who never forgets where he comes from' As they chatted, the man expressed his deep respect and admiration for Neeraj, saying, 'We all respect and admire you. You have brought glory to the whole country.' The sincerity in his words resonated with Neeraj, who always values the support of his fans. The man then asked, 'Can I take a picture?' capturing a moment that would surely be cherished by both. Their conversation was filled with warmth and encouragement, with the man wishing Neeraj all the best for his future endeavors. 'Keep doing well,' he added, leaving Neeraj with a smile and a reminder of the impact he has on people's lives. Sometimes, the best moments aren't planned, and this encounter was a beautiful testament to the connection between a champion and his supporters. The upcoming NC Classic is set to take place on July 5, at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru. Initially the tournament was scheduled for May 24, however the event was deferred, due to cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan. This landmark event, India's first-ever International Javelin competition, is spearheaded by India's most decorated Olympian, Neeraj, in collaboration with JSW Sports and sanctioned by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI). As a World Athletics-sanctioned Gold event, the Neeraj Chopra Classic promises to elevate India's status on the global athletics map. It will feature a stellar line-up of elite javelin throwers, making it a significant event for India. With a seating capacity exceeding 12,000, this competition is set to deliver an exhilarating display of athletic talent and skill. While Tokyo 2020 gold medallist Neeraj will headline the meet named in his honour, the Indian athlete will face stiff competition from some of the sport's biggest names. The organisers of the event confirmed a 12-member entry list for the inaugural NC Classic. The roster remains nearly identical to the original entry list released prior to the postponement, with just one change - Poland's Martin Konecny has replaced Japan's Genki Dean. Anderson Peters, Thomas Rohler, and Julius Yego - the 2015 world champion and Rio 2016 silver medallist - will participate as planned initially. The line-up also includes Pan American Games champion Curtis Thompson of the USA, Brazil's Luiz Mauricio da Silva and Sri Lanka's Rumesh Pathirage. Meanwhile, Sachin Yadav, Rohit Yadav and Sahil Silwal will represent the local challenge alongside Neeraj. (ANI)
