Neeraj Chopra, India’s star javelin thrower, delivered a commendable performance at the 2024 Lausanne Diamond League, finishing in second place. His best throw of the event came in the final round, where he registered a season-best distance of 89.49 meters.
This impressive throw secured him the silver medal in the competition, following closely behind Grenada’s Anderson Peters, who clinched the top spot with a throw of 90.61 meters in his final attempt.
Chopra’s performance in Lausanne adds to his recent success at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he also secured a silver medal in the men’s javelin throw. Meanwhile, Anderson Peters, who topped the Lausanne event, had earlier won the bronze medal in the same event at the Paris Olympics.
Chopra’s consistency and ability to perform under pressure are evident from his results, making him one of the top contenders in the global javelin throw circuit. His efforts continue to make India proud on the international stage, as he pushes the boundaries of his sport with each competition.
