India’s ace javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra said on Friday that he has identified a problem in his game and is looking to address it at as soon as possible as the two-time Olympic medallist seeks to win a second world championship gold medal later this year.

Chopra, who is India’s best medal hope in the September 13-21 showpiece in Tokyo, will be training in Prague and Nymburk in the Czech Republic for the next eight weeks. He will be flying to Czech Republic with his physio Ishan Marwah on Friday night and be in the European country till September 5 at a total cost of Rs 19 lakh.

“I have already identified the areas I need to work on. While throwing the spear, I tend to fall too much on my left side. We need to work on that. In training I don’t do that, but in competition, it happens because of the extra effort I put in,” said Chopra.

He said he also needs to work on his consistency to hit the 90m-mark more often. “I have achieved 90m this year. But I need to be more consistent to achieve it more often. I am continuously around 88-89m, and my coach said he is happy, but I need to be more consistent,” Chopra said during the launch of Under Armour store here.

Chopra’s next big target is to finish on top of the podium at the World Athletics Championships. “My next target is the world championships and I want to win there. Before the world championships, I will plan with my coach and see which event I can compete to best prepare for it,” Chopra said.
