Recency effect so real that people have forgotten that his 85s consistency got him almost all major gold medals where even 90s failed sometimes. This is him coming back from an injury btw.
@notjust0sn1s Scrutiny is fine and expected. But calling him average, and his Olympic gold a chance by luck, not so much.
He definitely needs to push beyond 90m. Fingers crossed.
@Nishant93435733 Consistency in distance + winning is an incredible achievement. We've seen throwers like Vetter, Weber, etc. who are great, but haven't been able to convert those distances into winning major competitions.
@kaafi_vichaar He also had an injury, (lower back/groin) not sure, around world championship in 2025 and after that he hasn't been very active. Hopefully he's fine now.
@pransu_upadhyay His consistency has often yielded him better results than those with huge distances. His non-reaction to this throw tells that he's aiming to do far better. Hopefully he stays fit.
(I saw someone write that 2-3 years of 90s is better than 8 years of 85s😭) rubbish
This guys has been a top medal contender, and winner in almost all major leagues for so many years yet the audacity to call him an average player, and for what? His 85m+ consistency?😭 which isn't even entirely true because his major throws have been 87-88m #neerajchopra
He survived 2 days & 2 nights without parents. He'd just sit alone, quiet. Learned to hop & fly on his own. I had just come inside wondering that he needed a shelter tonight as well. He was healthy, moving around. A cat took him in an instant, as I saw from the kitchen window.
