Speaking after the event, Chopra called the experience \u201ca little bit of a bittersweet\u201d result and was disappointed that he finished second.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt is a little bit bittersweet result. I am very happy for the 90m, but this second place - it actually happened to me also when I competed in Turku and Stockholm. I threw 89.94, and I was always second. And also here. I broke the national record and got second today. But I am very happy also for Julian Weber. He threw 91, so we both broke 90m for the first time today. We have been trying this for so many years, so finally, we managed to get it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Chopra also opened up about past struggles with a groin issue that had hampered his performances in recent seasons. \u201cI was always feeling something in my groin in the last few years. I did not give my best because of that. This year, I feel much better,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With the World Championships later this year, Chopra remains optimistic and hungry for more. \u201cWe will also work on some aspects, and so I believe I can throw more than 90m in the upcoming events this year,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Doha meet marked a significant step forward in Chopra\u2019s journey, reaffirming his place among the world\u2019s elite and fueling expectations for a potentially record-breaking season ahead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This made him the first Indian javelin thrower to cross the 90m mark in a world-level competition and is also a new National Record for India, as Chopra improved on his existing record of 89.94m set in June 2022 at Stockholm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It turned out to be a magical night for India's golden boy as Chopra achieved something that fans and pundits have been waiting years to witness, breaking the fabled 90-metre barrier in javelin throw, eventually finishing second in the Doha Diamond League meet on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The impact of new coach Jan Zelezny was apparent as Chopra finally crossed the mark that had eluded him several times in the last few years. Chopra has recently appointed three-time Olympic gold medallist Zelezny of the Czech Republic as his coach, replacing Dr. Klaus Bartonietz.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
