Neeraj Chopra has stated that he is not obsessed with the prospect of breaching the 90m mark and said that he is in a good mental space after beating Julian Weber to win the Paris Diamond League with a throw of 88.16m last week.

"I am really happy to work with such a great athlete and coach. I've already thrown 90m this year after a little bit more improvement in technique. So let's see when it comes next time but I am ready. Recently we've done a good training in Nymburk (Czech Republic) so I'll do my best here in Ostrava," he said.

Unwilling to put himself under the pressure of regular 90m throws, he revealed his main goal of the season and said, "Main goal for the season is obviously World Championships in Tokyo."

"Now I feel good, but I don't want to put any pressure on myself for 90m. But I'll try really hard," he was quoted as saying by PTI,

Besides the World Championships, Chopra is also excited about the Neeraj Chopra Classic javelin throw meet to be held in Bengaluru on July 5.

"This will be my first really serious competition in India with international athletes, on July 5. I still have to manage a lot of things before competition but it will be a good experience," he said.

"So now it would not be good if I would say no to people. And I'm happy that now in India people recognise other sports than cricket."

Meanwhile, Chopra's coach Zelezny also expressed satisfaction.

"I am happy about the situation. It's important for javelin and throws in general as athletics, is not only about sprints. Neeraj opened the doors to other countries, it's great for our sport," he said.
