Throwers don’t have a finish line, many more throws in me says new World champion Neeraj Chopra

"I still have a lot to achieve. It's not as if I have won all these medals so I'll rest easy. I want to repeat this success year after year. I also want more Indians to join me on the podium. That will be fun," he said after becoming the first Indian to win a World Athletics Championships gold.

"I am a thrower and we throwers don't have a finish line. So, I'll keep going. Motivation has never been a problem for me. There is always room for improvement. My throwing can definitely get better. I wanted to give my all today too but the adductor strain was also playing on my mind," he added.

The world title completes a set. He now has the Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, Olympics and Diamond League titles, in that order. Still only 25 and already commanding a following at home -- DP Manu and K Jena finished in the top six at the final -- Chopra can well feel satisfied.
