India: Javelin star Neeraj Chopra pulls out of Commonwealth Games
He cites health concerns, has been advised to rest for one month
India's star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra has pulled out of the Commonwealth Games due to "fitness concerns", the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) announced on Tuesday.
Chopra had won a historic silver medal at the World Athletics Championship in Eugene on Sunday, but unfortunately suffered a strain in his groin during the competition.
IOA Secretary General Rajiv Mehta said that the reigning Olympic champion has been advised to rest for one month.
"Team India javelin thrower Mr. Neeraj Chopra had called me earlier today from the US to convey his inability to take part in the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, owing to fitness concerns… Following his participation in the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Mr. Chopra had had an MRI scan done on Monday and based on it, he has been advised a month's rest by his medical team," Mehta said.
The 24-year-old has become only the second Indian athlete to win a medal at the World Championship, after Anju Bobby George, who won a bronze medal in long jump at the 2003 World Championship held in Paris. Chopra was also expected to be India's flag bearer at the Games, starting Thursday.
"We have a meeting later in the day to decide the new flag-bearer," India team's chef de mission Rajesh Bhandari told PTI.
