At the Diamond League Final 2025 in Zurich, Neeraj Chopra, the Indian javelin star and two-time Olympic medalist, secured the second position. Chopra’s best throw of 85.01m was not enough to surpass Germany’s Julian Weber, who delivered a powerful performance with a throw of 91.51m.
Chopra’s initial attempt measured 84.35m, but his subsequent throws fluctuated. He experienced difficulties mid-competition, incurring three fouls. His final throw was his best of the day, earning him the second spot.
Weber’s commanding throw was the highlight of the evening. Keshorn Walcott from Trinidad and Tobago finished in third place with a throw of 84.95m.
While not his best performance, Chopra’s second-place finish highlights his competitive spirit. The result provides valuable insight as he gears up for future competitions, including the World Championships and Olympic preparations.
