Zurich, Switzerland – Indian javelin star Neeraj Chopra narrowly missed out on the Diamond League title, finishing second for the second consecutive year. He achieved a best throw of 87.86m, just 0.01m shy of champion Anderson Peters of Grenada who claimed the crown with a throw of 87.87m.
Chopra’s best throw came in his third attempt. Germany’s Julian Weber took third place with a throw of 85.97m. This near miss comes on the heels of Chopra’s silver medal at the Paris Olympics 2024, where he also narrowly missed out on gold.
Despite the disappointment of another second-place finish, Chopra’s consistent performance continues to solidify his position as one of the world’s best javelin throwers.
