The golden boy of India Neeraj Chopra aims for an injury-free as he gears up for a long season, starting the 2023 campaign with his title defence of the Diamond League in a meet in Doha, Qatar.

Chopra has been an inspiration ever since he became the first track and field athlete from the India to clinch an Olympic gold in javelin throw in 2021, increasing hopes of billions of people in him landing a gold whenever he takes the field.

Before the Tokyo 2020 gold, the Indian javelin thrower had clinched the yellow metal in the 2018 Asian Games and the 2018 Commonwealth Games. The 25-year-old from Haryana also won the Diamond League trophy last year.

An 87.58 throw won him the gold in Tokyo 2020, but Neeraj has gone closer to the 90 meter mark often in 2022, achieving his personal best throw of 89.94 meters in Stockholm leg of the Diamond League in 2022.

The star Indian athlete was forced to miss many events last year due to injury, but still managed to clinch second place in World Athletics and the Diamond League title along with a gold in Kuartone Games 2022.

With fitness on the mind in a season that includes the Diamond League, World Athletics and the Asian Games, Chopra will take a call on participation of most events in consultation with coach and physio.

Despite Chopra's uncertainty to feature in every event in 2023, we take a look at the events the Indian javelin thrower could compete in as it stands along with the results and his season best throws.
