Star Indian javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra on Tuesday pulled out of a top-level competition in Switzerland, owing to fatigue. Chopra was to compete in the Spitzen Leichtathletik event in Lucerne, a World Athletics continental tour silver-level competition where the likes of Olympics gold medal favourite Johannes Vetter of Germany and some other top javelin throwers are taking part.
Chopra had taken part in three events -- in Portugal, Sweden and Finland -- since June 10 and this competition in Lucerne would have been his fourth in nearly three weeks. It is learnt that Chopra`s pull-out was a precautionary measure to give his body enough time to rest after a lot of travel even though he had entered his name for the top-class competition. He is being accompanied by bio-mechanics expert Dr Klaus Bartonietz and physiotherapist Isaan Marwaha.
