While Uwe Hahn has been a great athlete and coach, he cannot be given credit for Neeraj Chopra’s Olympic performance as Neeraj had stopped training with him since 2019. The rightful credit goes to Bartonietz who has been with him all the way. hindustantimes.com/sports/olympic…
Also Hohn had quit as coach of the Indian Olympic team before #Olympics2020 due to differences with the sports authorities on remuneration terms, and joined Australia as women’s team coach.
But more importantly, his wards Shivpal Singh and others were also unhappy with him.
Shivpal Singh was upset that Hohn made radical changes to their throwing style but more upset with his behaviour on overseas trips. He also alleged that Hohn coached players from other countries on the side, a serious conflict of interest.

The 121-day Tokyo Olympics relay kicked off on Mach 25 without spectators. The Tokyo Olympics, which were originally scheduled for July 2020, were delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The relay will end on July 23, 2021, with the Olympic Games opening ceremony in Tokyo.
The rose-gold, cherry blossom-shaped Olympic torch was lit at the J-Village sports complex in Fukushima, which also served as a base for operations responding to the 2011 disaster. Fukushima was one of the worst-affected areas by the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster
