NEW DELHI: Neeraj Chopra, reigning Olympic champion in javelin throw, has decided to withdraw from the Fanny Blankers-Koen Games, a World Athletics Continental Tour Gold level event scheduled on June 4 in Hengelo, the Netherlands.
This decision comes as a precautionary measure due to a muscle strain. However, fans can expect to see Neeraj back in action at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, Finland, which is set to take place on June 13.

“Recently, I sustained a muscle strain during my training. Following a medical evaluation, me and my team have decided to avoid any risks which can aggravate the injury,” the world No. 1 wrote on Twitter.
“Unfortunately, it means that I have to withdraw from the FBK Games, in Hengelo. Wishing the organisers and the tournament all the success.”

“Injuries are part of the journey, but it’s never easy. I am on the road to recovery, and will aim to be back on the track in June,” Neeraj added.

Neeraj had a remarkable start to the season by winning the Doha Diamond League on May 5 with an impressive throw of 88.67m.
