India’s top javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra says he has ironed out the kinks in his technique and found the optimal release angle ahead of the upcoming Tokyo Olympic Games. The mop-haired Commonwealth and Asian Games champion qualified for Tokyo throwing 87.86 meters last year and posted a personal best of 88.07 in March this year. If the release angle is not right, you are not getting the maximum out of your throw. “I also visualise my throws, I’ve already imagined how I’d perform in Tokyo,” Chopra said. By the time I turn up, I’d have performed there several times even if it’s only in my mind.”
