New Delhi, Jan 5 (PTI) Two-time Olympic medal-winning javelin throw star Neeraj Chopra has ended his decade long partnership with JSW Sports to launch his own athlete management firm, Vel Sports.
Chopra was associated with JSW Sports since 2016.
“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,” the 27-year-old 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.
The statement said that both parties were parting ways with “deep respect and pride”.
