Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra on Thursday clarified that Pakistani javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem was not tampering with his spear before his first throw at the Tokyo Olympics.
Neeraj Chopra posted a video on social media and said that anyone can use anyone’s javelin; there is no specific rule about it.
“Arshad Nadeem was not tampering with my javelin. He was just practicing for his throw, and nothing else,” clarified Neeraj.
“We keep our personal javelin during the event and anyone can use it. There is no specific rule about it,” said Neeraj.
In an interview with the Indian media, Neeraj had said that before his first throw he was not able to find his javelin as Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem was moving around with it.
Neeraj Chopra said he is extremely disappointed to see some of the reactions from the public and feels it was blown out of the proportion.
“I would request everyone to please not use me and my comments as a medium to further your vested interests and propaganda,” said Neeraj.
“Sports teaches us to be together and united.”
“I m extremely disappointed to see some of the reactions from the public on my recent comments,” he said.
