Neeraj Chopra has finally parted ways with JSW Sports after nine years! The two-time Olympic medallist announced on Monday the end of his decade-long association with JSW Sports. The javelin sensation launched his own athlete management firm, Vel Sports.
The 28-year-old’s rise to international stardom has been closely involved with JSW Sports since 2016. Chopra recalled the importance of the partnership during his formative years, acknowledging it as a cornerstone of the most successful period of his career.
“Over the last decade, our journey together has been one of growth, belief, and achievement. JSW Sports has played a defining role in my career, and I’ll always remain grateful for their support and vision,” Chopra said in a press release.
“As we conclude this chapter, I carry forward the same values into the next phase of my journey,” he added.
Chopra was first scouted by JSW Sports in their sports excellence program nine years ago. In 2021, Chopra became the first Indian to clinch an Olympic track and field gold medal during the Tokyo Games, and backed it up with a gold medal in the 2023 World Championships and a silver medal at the Paris Games in 2024.
Chopra is still recovering from injuries sustained in 2025 and has not decided when to open his 2026 season.
