Neeraj Chopra, the 28-year-old double Olympic javelin medallist, announced that his ankle injury has improved and that he will resume training and rehabilitation in the next couple of weeks, according to statements shared with the Sports Authority of India. He said orthopaedic surgeon Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala has cleared him to return and that he has followed medical advice to rest.
The injury, sustained during a training session in August, forced him out of the Asian Games in Japan and ended his 2026 season, including the Lausanne Diamond League where he threw 88.05 metres. Chopra also welcomed the Union Cabinet's approval of the Khelo India Sports Goods Manufacturing Scheme on October 28 and wished the Indian contingent heading to the Youth Olympic Games well.
