Watch: How Neeraj Chopra pranks his coach while doing viral Instagram trend
Xtra Time Web Desk: Star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra shared a reel on Instagram featuring his parting coach Klaus Bartonietz and physiotherapist Ishaan Marwaha where Neeraj pranked his coach and left Klaus surprised.
The trio created their own version of the viral 'give me my money' trend. The viral TikTok prank called “Just give me my money” involves two or more people standing in a circle or a line. One at a time, they chant “just give me my money,” often in a funny voice with dramatic flair. Each declaration elicits enthusiastic applause from the other participants. But when the person who’s not in on the joke jumps in with their version of the phrase—that almost always happens last—they’re met with awkward silence. Here Neeraj started off by saying "give me my money" and everyone claps, followed by his physiotherapist. When the coach reiterated the phrase, no one clapped, leaving him puzzled as Neeraj and his physiotherapist shared a great laugh.

This trio has been highly successful since 2019. Neeraj probably won all titles under Klaus's coaching but now they are parting their ways. They have celebrated their victories, birthdays and special achievements together. Klaus Bartonietz cited his age and desire to spend more time with family.
An official of the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) stated to PTI, "He (Bartonietz) is 75 and he now wants to be with his family and does not want too much travel also."
He further added, "It is not that Neeraj wants to end the association, it is Bartonietz who has expressed his inability to continue as his (Neeraj's) coach".
