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.
