Neeraj Chopra's Injury and 2026 Season Plans

Neeraj Chopra, the famous javelin thrower, is recovering from a back injury he got before the 2025 World Championships.

He finished eighth in the championships, which was not as good as his usual performances.

Chopra is taking time to get better and has not yet decided when he will start competing again in 2026.

The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) is supporting him and has set rules for athletes to qualify for the Asian Games.

They are also increasing anti-doping tests to ensure fair play.

Chopra's coach, Jan Zelezny, is helping him plan his comeback.

The AFI is focusing on the Asian Games as their main event for 2026.
