A couple of days after an emotional parting with long-time coach Klaus Bartonietz, who guided Neeraj Chopra to two consecutive Olympic medals, the Indian star has teamed up with a team led by his childhood hero and three-time Olympic champion Jan Zelezny—the world record holder with an astonishing 98.48m.

The Czech legend broke the javelin throw world record on four occasions en route to claiming the current undisputed mark of 98.48m, in Germany, in 1996.
