Neeraj Chopra may have clinched the Golden Spike title in his maiden appearance at the meet, but the Tokyo Olympics champion was far from satisfied with his performance.

Chopra’s best throw of 85.29m was enough to secure the win in a nine-man field at the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event here on Tuesday. 

“I’m not that happy with my performance today, but I’m very happy with the trophy I have won,” said Chopra.
