The Commonwealth Games may be taking place early in the athletics season but India’s top javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra says he can hit top gear and better his personal best to win a medal at Gold Coast next month. He is hoping that he will better his personal best this year after failing to do so last season. The Haryana thrower said that touching his personal best should fetch him a medal in the April 4-15 CWG as well as the Asian Games in August-September. “After I set the junior world record in 2016, I could not improve upon my personal best in 2017. My target this year to consistently throw above 85m mark and do better than my personal best.
