NEW DELHI: The 2020 Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra and javelin legend Jan Zelezny have mutually agreed to end their coaching partnership, during which the Indian star crossed the 90-metre barrier but failed to retain his World Athletics Championship gold medal.
However, both Chopra, a two-time Olympic medallist, and Zelenzy described their association as a partnership characterised by growth, trust, and meaningful collaboration.
Chopra, who made history by winning India's first gold medal in athletics at the Tokyo Olympic Games and followed it up with a silver in Paris in 2024, and Zelezny made an immediate impact in their very first competition together, creating a moment the nation had been waiting for.
