Tokyo Olympics: The Hohn influence on Neeraj Chopra

The Hindu  

Uwe Hohn may no longer be the coach of Neeraj Chopra, but the German certainly played a significant role in shaping up his career. After Neeraj clinched the gold medal at the Asian Games in Jakarta with a National record of 88.06m, Hohn had said in an interview, at the Ekamra Sports Literature Festival at Bhubaneswar, that his ward was destined for greater glory. “A medal at the Tokyo Olympics is not beyond him,” he had said. “I could have won the gold.” That thought might still be bothering him, but Neeraj’s gold in Tokyo could make him feel better.
