CWG 2022: Indian Player Neeraj Chopra Pulls out of Birmingham Games Due to Injury.Neeraj Chopra won’t be competing in the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games because of “concerns surrounding his fitness.” During the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon, where he won the silver medal, the javelin thrower experienced the problem.
IOA Secretary General Rajeev Mehta stated: “Neeraj Chopra, a javelin thrower for Team India, had called me earlier today from the US to inform me that he would be unable to compete in the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games due to fitness issues. Chopra underwent an MRI on Monday following his participation in the Eugene 2022 World Athletics Championships, and his medical team has recommended a month of recovery as a result “.
Due to a groyne ailment, Neeraj was clearly in pain during the world championship final. To be able to fully compete, he would tighten a strap around his right thigh.
“My first three tosses did not feel comfortable. I did a poor job warming up. And during the throw, I felt something in my groyne, but I believe it to be okay,” he remarked on Saturday.
Chopra, who won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics and a silver medal at the world championships, was slated to carry the Indian flag during the opening ceremony on Thursday. The replacement for Chopra as the flag bearer has not yet been chosen.
The Lausanne Diamond League is the next event on Neeraj’s itinerary for August 26. It is still unknown if he would compete in Switzerland due to the injury and necessary rehabilitation time.The 24-year-old had finished second in Stockholm Diamond League and was working towards sealing a place in the final in Zurich on 7 September.
