**Neeraj Chopra Secures Second Place at Janusz Kusocinski Memorial, Extends Top-Two Streak**
**Chorzw, Poland -** Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra added another podium finish to his impressive career, securing second place at the Janusz Kusocinski Memorial 2025 in Chorzw, Poland on Friday, May 23rd. In chilly conditions, the Indian javelin star threw a best of 84.14 metres in the final round, a late surge that earned him the runner-up position.
Germany’s Julian Weber, fresh off his Diamond League win in Doha, dominated the competition with a winning throw of 86.12 metres. Grenada’s Anderson Peters took third place with 83.24 metres.
Chopra, who admitted to struggling with the conditions, found himself in third place for much of the competition. After a discussion with his coach following a foul throw, he rallied with his two best throws of the night, ultimately surpassing Peters in the final round.
Despite falling short of his personal best, this silver medal marks Chopra’s 22nd consecutive tournament finishing in the top two, a remarkable streak that began with his gold medal victory at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. This performance highlights Chopra’s consistency and ability to perform under pressure, solidifying his position as one of the world’s elite javelin throwers.
