The Indian Olympics Association (IOA) announced on Tuesday that javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra won’t be participating in the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham on July 28 due to an injury.
Following his 2020 Olympic success, Chopra also became the second Indian to win a medal at this year's World Athletics Championship on Sunday after he clinched silver with his best throw of 88.13 meters. Unfortunately, he reportedly suffered a groin strain during the competition.
“He got injured in the finals of the recently held World Athletics Championship in Eugene [USA]. He had an MRI scan done on Monday and based on it he has been advised a month’s rest by his medical team,” IOA Secretary General Rajiv Mehta said in a statement.
The star was due to defend his medal at the Commonwealth Games, having won gold at the Commonwealth Games 2018 in Gold Coast.
Soon after the news about Chopra dropped, netizens quickly reacted and started wishing the star athlete a speedy recovery.
