It has been a smooth start to the season for Javelin Throw world champion Neeraj Chopra, who won the Paris Diamond League three days back. Neeraj threw 88.16m to defeat his close competitor, Julian Weber of Germany, after losing to him at the Doha Diamond League.
Neeraj has featured in two tournaments this season, the Doha Diamond League and the Paris Diamond League, and will be participating in his third competition tomorrow at the Golden Spike in Ostrava, Czech Republic. It is a gold-level tournament on the World Athletics Continental tour.
After an injury-marred season in 2024, where he failed to defend his Olympic title losing to Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, Neeraj started training under Czech legend Jan Zelenzy and parted ways with his long-term coach Dr Klaus Bartonietz. Neeraj also put an end to the questions of 90m as he crossed the much hyped mark at the Doha Diamond League, throwing 90.23m and creating a new national record.
