Olympic gold medalist javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra is set to shift his training base from Turkey to Finland which will host the Paavo Nurmi Games, where he will take on Johannes Vetter on June 14.
The Sports Authority of India (SAI) said “the four-week training camp has been sanctioned by the government’s Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) and will cost the Sports Ministry an estimated Rs 9.8 lakh.”
“From Kuortan, Neeraj will then proceed to Turku to participate in the Pavo Nurmi Games, followed by the Kuortane Games and then the Diamond League in Stockholm,” SAI said in a statement.
Her next event will be at the Games in Kuurtan, Finland on June 18 where she finished third last year.
