The news says that Neeraj Chopra has also talked about his preparations before the start of the season. He said in the press conference that he is physically and mentally better than last season. Chopra had said that last year I had actually reached close to (90m). I'm not overconfident, but when you're feeling good, you can say that. Believe it will happen (90m) this time.
