Neeraj Chopra's German Coach Set A World Record Of 104.8 Meters In Spear's Throw.

Neeraj Chopra has given India its first individual Olympic gold medal in Tokyo 2020 Athletics. He threw 87.58 meters in the javelin throw final. Neeraj's hard work is behind his success in the javelin throw. He was also accompanied by Uwe Hohn, a German veteran, and great javelin thrower. The historical connection of the 59-year-old former German great with Neeraj was an essential step in this direction.

The contribution of the German coach to Neeraj's success

Uwe Hon, a 59-year-old German great, has thrown a giant weapon in his time. He threw a spear at a distance of more than 100 meters. Neeraj's German coach Uwe Hoen threw a gun at a distance of 104.8 meters in 1984. Which almost reached the gallery of spectators.

Germany missed out on medals without competing in the Olympics.

Hon missed the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. East Germany at the time boycotted the Olympics in protest of the United States. Due to which Harvan could not participate in the Olympics. In addition to Hon for the Tokyo Olympics, biomechanics expert Klaus Bartonitz also worked with Neeraj Chopra during the Tokyo Olympics.
