It’s amazing that Chopra has achieved so much and still not thrown over 90m which might be required to retain his Olympic title in Paris.
Chopra needs to throw further. Even Latvian NR is higher then his PB.
@endijsblums7652 that doesn't mean much. Weather is a factor and a lot of these guys have bigger PRs in practice and just haven't had "that throw" in a meet yet
it doesn't matters that much the thing which matter is who performs best on that day !!!
Looking at the prospective field for Paris right now I doubt anyone is going to throw over 90m there. The 3 Germans who were throwing over 90m for fun are all out of them and struggling to hit even 80m in competition now. Same story with other 90m throwers like Julius Yego and Anderson Peters. The competition is going to be between Chopra, Nadeem (still recovering with injury), Vadlejch and Weber. Vadlejch and Nadeem have both thrown over 90m once but it's going to be tall ask for them to repeat the same at. Anything close to 89m might be enough for Gold.
Paris 2024 is gonna be one of the greatest and most intensely competitive Olympics ever as far as the Javelin is concerned.
hope to see Johannes Vetter return to the world stage this season. Along with chopra and peters, paris could become a unforgettable olympics in terms of javelin trowing
Peters is nowhere near his 2022 form anymore....not even close.
Vetter is also a question mark.....the likely protagonists in 2024 Paris are likely to be Neeraj, Vadlejch and Nadeem only
@@dhruvbhatia2010Peters beat him im Diamond league
If they were to ever introduce a bodyweight to force production in Javelin, Neeraj would easily be an all-time great for his size-to-strength ratio.
But not even close to world record holder Jan Zelezny who had a even lighter body weight.
@@wilhelmw3455theyre useing different javelins nowadays. Weights differently. That record by Jan will never be broken with the new Javelin they use now.
@@hawjsta The javelins are the same you are referring to the era before current world record holder Jan Zelezny when German thrower Ewe Hohn set a world record which is no longer official therefore will never be broken because of changes in specifications of the javelin, even then the weight was still the same just the aerodynamics were altered which shortens the distance achieved.
@@hawjstayou definitely don't know what you're talking about😅
Nothing Chopra does in the weight room looks remotely out of the ordinary for any top 5 in the world athlete in an explosive event.
I understand Chopra was teased about being a bit chubby as an adolescent. In response he worked out a training regime on his own and quietly worked his backside off. The results are obvious.
It’s amazing to watch Chopra throw his entire body into his throws and then watch another guy look like he just walks up and tosses the javelin with no body behind it but come close to the same score.
He is shorter and lighter than other elite throwers. I'm no expert but I feel like he has more consistency and technique compared to other behemoths making him regularly hover around 88m. But that also signals to me that he might be plateauing and it might not be physically possible for him to breach 91m
This dude needs to crack 90m
Clickbait-y video title. And "he's defied all expectations" is categorically wrong. He broke the world junior record and since then he's definitely "lived up to all expectations".
I think a video should be done about that African javelin athlete that broke 90 meters, twice. Was he tested for PEDs? We should be celebrating that guy.
You presented this like he was out of this world phenomenal….. He ain’t even the best in his time. Why aren’t we hearing more about the guy that actually is the best in his time and can throw over 90m?
Because he is younger than all of them and hasn't even hit his prime yet
Bharat mata ki jai❤
I wish this time entire podium should go to India 😅with Neeraj winning Gold
Congrats to Chopra, the Pakistani man for being the first in his country to medal and to all other contenders. I hear Chopra likes eggs and chicken. I'll eat 4 eggs for every 50 word comment left and a Cb for every 100 word comment.
Alot of cricket 🏏 bowling in that throw
Malinga like
Okay... but what is the 'insane javelin record'? I like this channel, but the videos and titles have crossed over into clickbait.
Why not just make the video about Peters?
An U20 Athlete from Germany just threw 90 meters
It's not about throwing once it's about consistent throwing
This TRP channel knows how to milk content for views. Undeniably Chopra is the current best javelin throwers in the world. But the truth is his 89.94 is in the 41st position in history books record, number one is 98.48, so let alone the best in history, he is not even one of the best, so why make content that's is not aligned with TRP's niche. Simple, TRP is targeting the eyes of 1.4 billion Indians hoping to get views. There are many other athletes where the best in history is performing right now from Europe, North America, and other parts of Asia like for example wrestling, weightlifting, swimming, skiing etc. But no they specifically choose Chopra just for views even thought he is not one of the best in history...
Many Players with 90+ Throws don't even have an OLYMPIC gold medal
@@VinayKumar-wk6vk We are not talking about medals, we are talking about the ability to even achieve top 10 throws of all time....
Not only is he setting the tone for India, he’s setting the tone for the whole region. India and Pakistan have a famous rivalry, seeing the Pakistani on the podium leads me to believe that the Pakistanis are just as inspired by Chopra’s consistency as the Indians are.
88.88 in China ?? what a incredible coincidence considering the symbolism of the 8 number there
2022 was a unique year in the Javelin with 7 different men throwing over 89m & 3 of them throwing over 90m and that didn't even include the great Johannes Vetter who should hopefully be back to his 97.76m best again!
97.97 with wind ,he can't even throw 85 m consistently
@@nps7742 You for real?! You are aware that Vetter has 17 throws over 90m right?!
That diamond league was insane, 88,59 only good enough for 4th :D
He is injured right now and hasn't even qualified for olympics now
Do some research before commenting
What I love about throwing sports like javelin is that they aren't limited by body type... they are a physics problem that the human body can solve in all sorts of ways. I don't doubt Chopra can clear 90m, as consistently hovering around that 87-89m mark shows he easily has the capacity for it. If anything, I get the impression that he'd benefit from loosening up his form a bit.... the thing about the javelin is that (like a spear) it's actually about the finesse of your throw as much as the force, and when you look at 90+m throws they often look bizarrely effortless (relatively speaking anyway!). It feels like Chopra can sometimes (for want of a better phrase) try a bit too hard to throw with force instead of letting all that training, his muscle memory & the javelin do the work for him. Exciting stuff!
"they often look bizarrely effortless"
What I call the "sweet spot in time". When it all really comes together it feels like it's in slow motion and looks like it too. Timing and rhythm are everything.
Well, and that 89.94 proves to me he can throw 90, the only question is will he and when. Even a tiny perturbation in wind currents could probably get you 6cm.
Isn't it Uve Hon who trained him? No suprise he is so powerful.
I absolutely love the field events highlighted on this channel!
I watched the javelin finals at the World Championships finals in 2022., Although Chopra didn’t win, he was electric and charismatic, and was a favorite among spectators.
Not so
His pound for pound strength is tryluly insane. But yeah , he may need to gain some weight to cross the 90. Once he does it, I believe he keep throwing over 90 in every competition like he does 88 now in pretty much every one
I will never listen to someone that spell truly tryluly
This shouldn't be possible... But it is. Again titles are unnecessary needy. C'mom you can do it better.
Wr is 98.48
His training is insane
@TotalRunningProductions don't you think it is about time that you finally learn how to pronounce Jakub Vadlech? You've been butchering his name for years now...
I wish you would put a more descriptive title on your videos? "How was this even possible?" suggests a world record or some other superhuman feat. There was nothing like that in this video about Chopra.
I know it's to grab eyeballs, we who subscribe already subscribe to you don't need a fake title to entice us to watch the video. When I watched it, I have to tell you that I was disappointed. The title had set me up to expect some out of this world accomplishment, but it wasn't there. Thank you.
Indian athletes been making their way into a lot of events recently nice to see track and field start to take hold in the country
they have over 1.4 billion people, its about freakin time.
That's facts, haha@@Brett733
@@Brett733I mean we do direct our energy to more towards the academic side rather than Sports while growing up so that's one reason, but that's gradually changing
@@AryanSingh-yy9mw I guess that explains why India is a super clean, prosperous country with lot's of well run infrastructure because they are all so smart. Yes I know about brain drain, believe me I live in Canada and every Canadian is well versed on the Indian Diaspora and I keep hearing that argument from the myriad of Indian's here with fake engineering degrees they bought. Don't get me wrong I know plenty of hardworking successful Indian people but they are largely outnumbered by useless social parasites who don't shower, don't wear deodorant, don't pay taxes and if they do work at all it is with no pride or professionalism. I hear this constantly as well from Indian people born in Canada.
@@Brett733 its not that! Being near to the equator, we don't have gigantic bodies or bones. In the western world, climate has made it mandatory for you to resort to sports to keep fit. So its in your DNA, plus an automatic height and weight and power advantage. India is basically an agricultural country with sharp mind power that they have for ages fielded only in sports and games for mental acumen. Besides, most of us are vegetarians and are spiritually grown for less passion in life. And also its an individual's efforts to grow in these fields than academies, government support and so on. We have for decades leaned towards education than sports, though all of us in schools have played many games regularly.
So its nice to see such athletes out there, but still the concept of professional sportsmen needs a huge boost. it cannot be seen independent of other aspects like social integration of such sportsmen, rural sports growth, awareness among people and so on.
Medals are fine, but building a healthy nation is more important. I don't want India to change their DNA to achieve mind blowing success, which will never sustain.
Blah, blah, blah... Come back to us when he joins the 90+ meters throwers .
I'd rather take an athlete who consistently throws 88+ in every competition irrespective of location, over someone who hits 90 meters once and then spends the rest of the season sidelined with injuries.
Blah blah Olympic champion, world champion, diamond league champions,Asian champion,commonwealth champion , World jr champion (u20 record holder) blah blah without 90+
Not taking away anything from Chopra, but he still hasn't beat Peters 90 m
Neeraj is consistently throwing in the 87 - 89 Mtrs range and let’s hope he throws 90+ in the Paris olympics to win the gold yet again.
An Indian and a Pakistani among the best in the world in the javelin???? What's next? Dogs and cats living together in harmony? This is sooo unusual for athletes from each country to be leading the world.
I think in that meet 4 out of top 7 were Indians and Pakistanis.
@@0anant0 5. Kishore JENA IND 84.77

Ive been an athlete for over 30 years and semi pro. like any other competitive athlete, the answer is always and mostly, "Its on the day or hope for a good day at the office or anything can happen"
That thumbnail is insane, wow Chopra can REALLY twist his body into one big spring!
No wonder he is so good.
And yeah, its amazing for India what he has done! ... It ALWAYS helps to have a pro inspiring a nation.
He is still crap compared to Backley & Zalezney who inspired the world, not just one geographical region of it.
@@SPIDERM0OSE jelly shelly
@@gruisman
Im not one bit jelly, so heed yer own advice on that score.
Its just that I wasnt born yesterday & have been lucky enough to have seen the actual best javelin throwers & as such I can only be unimpressed by a very distant second best.
You are speaking from a pampered ivory tower perched on the declining precipice of a weak era in terms of masculine standards.
You have no genuine idea of what excellence is if you think this Chopra guy can compare to even Steve Backley let alone Jans Zalezney, he isnt even the best in his own era in terms of distances thrown.
@@SPIDERM0OSEwhat a bitter old man.
@@DrewSanders-bm8mk
Dont worry about my age wee girl, Im not here looking for a wife.
Run along now.
SHOO !
Thumbnail shows 72mph but you don't talk about it during the video!
I'm surprised he isn't bulkier if he can lift that much weight
Can you do a video about johannes vetter? @total running productions ?
Thought you were gonna talk about Mahendra SinghDhoni for a second based on the thumbnail
Chopra is consistent, but can we talk about the Pakistani jav thrower looking at ease?! Every other javelin thrower is using their entire body and he just looked like he moved his arm and jav was like, "Aight, I'm about to head out."
Thought the title was going to be: "Neeraj Chopra's big problem!!"
Chopra is gawesome, although he is quite a bit overrated, Jakub Vadlejch is going to take the win in Paris in my opinion, he is still a bit better than Chopra, even ended the 2023 season with the world lead
Performing at your best when it matters the most is a skill that 33yr old Jakub has yet to master!
Not to mention quite a bad pronouncation of Vadlejch in the video :/ But yeah, Paris is gonna be fantastic, my bet is on Peters :D
@@ravciozo7517 Ask a Scot to pronounce it ;-)
Hope he inspire more athlete back in india
He is only 26yrs old yet to hit his prime. Most Javelin throwers peak around 30yrs.
His real age is 30+ ,, actually he minimize his actual age
@@Deepak28262 lol stop lying
@@otomackena7610 no,,I m not lying
100 percent true fact
u don,t know about Indian sports culture have fully age frauding and doping scandals
No doubt ,neeraj chopra is best and consistent athlete with clean
Anderson Peters looks like the one to beat, if he can recover from his injuries.
"only six athletes have ever won two Olympic titles in javelin" okay but only like 50 have ever won one, so it seems to me your odds of winning a second are actually way higher than of winning a first
I am awaiting your next video on the greatness of double-world champion Anderson Peters.
I really appreciate the field content here 👍
Chopra has the similar determination like Jan Zelenzy did during the 90’s. I am down that Chopra will come up to be a dominant athlete in the 2024 Olympics. God bless to our be loved Indian Javelin thrower.
I noticed you changed the video title but the new title is nearly as bad as the old one. How was what even possible?? An why should no athlete be able to do it...whatever it is?
Good fast bowler. I reckon more of them could transition to javelin.
90 meter distance will happen any time now
Chopra is in a sweet spot currently. Hard work + absence of Germans since 2021 has opened the field for him.
Vetter and Weber were in the Olympics brother where Niraj still came on top. His biggest strength is the consistency with which he throws between 87 to 89 meters in all the major events.
That's kind of true, but still he is more consistent than the Germans in the end. They are surely more powerful with bigger frames, but can't cross the 88-89 mark in every competition which can Chopra can stay at
It is nice to see a country of 1.4 billion finally seeing success at an Olympic sport.
infrastructure?
most indian could dominate sports that include shit ton of endurance
Neerja chopra's longest throw is 89.94m and Arshad Nadeem's is 90.18m.
Congratulations to Arshad Nadeem now the current Olympic champion with a winning throw of 92.97m.
I think it's pronounced sh, long o, pra.
Yes he can.
I don't know........javelin seems to be going through a little bit of weak era right now.........we need to start seeing some 95 meter throws..........from somebody!!??
Niraj chopra 🇮🇳 india💪
Total RUNNING productions makes videos about javelin throwers but completely forgets Courtney Dauwalter.
Spear Chuckin' was the way we killed all the mammoths, so there's some selection for tossing javelins.
They are going to have to change the javelins again to stop them flying so far, guys are going to be throwing 100+ metres soon.
definately 🇮🇳'as chopra will win 🥇 . Jai hind
Chopra is awesome but I'm super happy hearing someone from the Czech Republic.
I really love these new javelin videos. It’s my favorite track and field event so seeing it get this attention makes me so happy

No bro,,I m from India actually India population about 1.5

lol a random black dude picks up the javelin and beats out 1 billion Indian guys and all we talk about is the best Indian dude 🤷♂️🫡🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇦🏴
Bcz you have jealousy
Has he been trained by the GOAT? I feel like they didnt do this training in the past. There has to be a secret better way
Can we talk about how the ideal form for javelin is apparently to flail sideways and faceplant on your arms after your throw?
it isn’t idea tho
It's basically to stop their forward momentum from carrying them over the foul line (that arc at the edge of the throwing area). You can get a decent run-up before releasing the javelin (10 meters or more), and while you're essentially trying to become a human ballista it's impossible to deliver all that momentum through your back & shoulder muscles into the javelin... hence the windmilling of arms & diving to the ground to stop your whole body just continuing in the same direction as the javelin.
Seems like this should have been about Anderson Peters
He is the reason why many children in India entering into Atheletics.
It’s truly special considering India with more than 1B population, is so bad (maybe the worst) in competitive sports in general.
Ya cause we focus on studies more than sports 😅
@@rahuljadhav7490 lot of nations are focusing on studies as well and having more success than you at both. I just think you are not genetically gifted for sport and that’s ok.
@@faubourglincoln lol i don't want to argue with you brother and yes actually genetically we are weaker ( that's true and you should research why we are weaker genetically) but i don't argue with the statesman that lot of countries are better in studies than India 🤣 go research how much India contributes in it , management and science field 🤣
@@rahuljadhav7490 I mean… South Korea and Japan (just to think of these two) are certainly more studies focused and they do much better in sports despite being much less numerous.

Thanks for choosing Niraj Chopra 😇😇😇
Love from Bharat🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Neeraj's build reminds me a lot of Allen Iverson with that "pound-for-pound" strength
Iverson was a lot more about speed and judging a defenders moves than actual power. He got bounced around like a ping pong ball and made shots anyway due to supreme body control, not power.
*Stockton was marginally bigger and definitely stronger. It's obvious from his defense. Something Iverson largely avoided because he didn't have the strength
1:40 im sorry but I hope that you mean that he is one of the strongest javelin throwers. Cause if not then it's laughable as he couldn't even win most state competitions in powerlifting or Olympic lifting. Sure he is an insane athlete but he isn't a strength athlete. He is way more athletic and flexible then most strength athletes but there is a huge gap if we talk about moving weights
