“Initially, I didn’t know anything about it. As I always say, when I started competing, I did not have the background of the game. I didn’t even know if I would be able to participate for India.”
“Gradually, I worked hard, step-by-step and improvement. When I started playing internationally, especially in the Diamond League, I used to compete with foreign athletes. When I realized that I realized that I could do anything, I can do anything and I got a lot of help after winning the Olympic medal.

Which aspect of NC Classic do you find the most exciting?
According to Category A Event World athleticsWill see participation from the choice of Anderson Peters of Granada and Thomas Roaler of Germany. Peters are a two-time world champion and Rohaller is the golden-century of the 2016 Olympics. Chopra said that he has also invited Pakistani Olympic champions Arshad Madem But there is no confirmation yet.
Keeping your name for an event, inviting the best spear throwers in the world and receiving the expected approval has been a completely separate animal for Chopra. He has gone only from focusing on his training to play perfect hosts for the neck classic.
“There are many things that I did not know that the light is not bright enough, it should be very lux. I did not even know. We only knew that we have to go and play. The light is on. But there are things like lights to show the public. What is the washroom right? What is the gym?
On the challenges of hosting a program, Chopra said, “Food, spear, grass, track, track, changing room, sit for the public are all things that I did not know was important. But keep in mind a lot of things.”
The 27 -year -old said that the NC classic would be an annual competition and he is hoping that other incidents other than Jewelin will be added to the future. Initially a plan was made for Panchkula, the program has been transferred to Bengaluru for logical reasons.
“I wanted an event in Panchkula, but there are some issues related to light in the stadium. The need for world athletics is 600 lux (a measure of light intensity), which is not there (in Panchkula) and it would take time (to install it),” he said.
“Therefore, we have decided to move the program to the Kantirwa Stadium in Bangalore,” said a 27 -year -old supported by Bangalore -based JSW Sports.
NC Classic will be jointly organized in collaboration by athlete and JSW Sports Athletics federation of india (AFI) and World Athletics.
Apart from international athletes, the program will also feature Indian athletes like Rohit Yadav. Chopra revealed that there would be a place for three-four Indians including themselves in the competition.
