Two-time Olympic medallist and world champion Neeraj Chopra has revealed that his injury has improved significantly and that he will be resuming training and rehabilitation in the next couple of weeks. Chopra had missed the recent Asian Games due to the ankle ligament tear he had sustained during a training session.

Chopra is a two-time Olympic medal winner, claiming gold at the pandemic-affect Tokyo 2020 Olympics and a silver at the Paris Olympics in 2024.…
