The 76-year-old German is set to return home and retire after working with the two-time Olympic medallist for over five years.

  In an emotional parting message, javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra confirmed he is parting ways with his long-time coach Klaus Bartonietz, who is set to retire and return home to Germany. The partnership was hugely successful, leading to two Olympics medals — including gold at Tokyo 2020 — as well as two Asian Games golds, and a World Championship gold.
