Sat Sep 14 15:57:39 UTC 2024: ## Chopra Targets 90m Mark at Diamond League Final, Nadeem Absent
**Brussels, Belgium:** The Diamond League Final 2024 is set to begin at 11:52 PM IST on September 14th at the Baudouin Stadium, with India’s star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra aiming for his second Diamond League trophy. Chopra, who is looking to breach the 90m mark, will face stiff competition from Julian Weber and Jakub Vadlejch among others.
However, a notable absence in the competition is Neeraj Chopra’s biggest rival, Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan. The Paris 2024 Olympic gold medalist and Olympic record holder finished eighth in the overall Diamond League standings with just 5 points, failing to qualify for the final. Nadeem has not competed since his record throw of 92.97m at the Paris Olympics.
Chopra will need to overcome this formidable challenge to claim the Diamond League title, with the absence of Nadeem adding another layer of intrigue to this highly anticipated event.
