Neeraj Chopra Pranks Coach Bartonietz in Hilarious Video

Indian javelin star Neeraj Chopra recently pulled off a hilarious prank on his long-time coach Klaus Bartonietz, who is set to depart from his role after the ongoing season. In a viral video posted on Instagram, Chopra, Bartonietz, and physiotherapist Ishaan Marwaha created their own version of the popular "give me my money" trend.

The video begins with Chopra saying "give me my money," while Marwaha and Bartonietz clap. Marwaha repeats the phrase, and everyone claps again. However, when it's Bartonietz's turn, no one claps, leaving him puzzled. Chopra and Marwaha then burst into laughter, revealing their prank.

The video has garnered widespread attention, with fans and fellow athletes alike praising Chopra's sense of humor. It also highlights the close bond between Chopra and Bartonietz, who have worked together for five years.

Under Bartonietz's guidance, Chopra has achieved remarkable success, including winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, the silver medal at the Paris Games, and the world championship title. He has also become the Diamond League champion and the Asian Games gold medalist.

Bartonietz's decision to step down as Chopra's coach is due to his age and family commitments. The 75-year-old German has expressed his desire to spend more time with his family and reduce his travel schedule.

Chopra has expressed his gratitude for Bartonietz's contributions to his career and has wished him well in his future endeavors. The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) has also acknowledged Bartonietz's significant role in Chopra's success and has thanked him for his dedication.

As Bartonietz prepares to depart, Chopra will be looking for a new coach to guide him in the next phase of his career. The Indian javelin star is determined to continue his winning ways and cement his legacy as one of the greatest athletes in the world.
