The video shows Chopra doing a variety of routines, from traditional sprints to high knees to side runs to get up to speed. I’ve been doing this warm-up routine for a while. The idea is to get a faster, stronger run up, Chopra, who is currently based at Loughborough University in the UK for pre-season training, said during a virtual press conference on Saturday.
u201cIt is such an honor to be recognized by someone like him. He (Johnson) is a legend in track and field and it is great to be impressed with my sprints. I might even show you my sprint skills, he said.
Chopra is also working on slight technical improvements to defend his Olympic crown in Paris next year. u201cOf course, Paris is on my mind and if I need any technical adjustments, Iu2019m going to make myself this year to develop muscle memory. I’ve worked on a minor modification to the ankle of my ring (rear) leg, and I’m going to try it at this year’s competition, he said.
Germany’s Wetter and Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem will also return from injury this year. Vetter is a consecutive 90m pitcher, but Nadeem was en route to the gold medal in his game at the Commonwealth in Birmingham. Add in Peters and Thomas Lawler, who had a bitter rivalry with the Indian last year, and the injury-plagued 2022 looks to be a pretty packed field.
It’s good to have them all back. It will be fun to compete with the best in the business. There is no pressure from the 90m or from the competition. When you step onto the field, you do your best. I just want to do my best, Chopra said.
