    What's the story

    Olympic-bound star Indian javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra has reached Portugal to take part in an event in Lisbon on June 10, which will mark his return to international competition after more than a year.

    Chopra, who has not taken part in any international event after qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics in January last year in South Africa, reached Lisbon on Sunday.

    Competition

    Chopra will get to train and participate in a competition

    "In Lisbon, he will be able to train as well as take part in the competition. That is the most important thing as many countries have stipulated hard quarantine for arriving Indians," the source said.

    The CEO of JSW Sports, Chopra's sponsors, Parth Jindal tweeted the news of the reigning Asian and Commonwealth Games champion reaching Portugal.
