Neeraj Chopra Diamond League final
India’s javelin hero Neeraj Chopra will compete in the Diamond League 2024 final event in Brussels, Belgium, on Saturday at the King Baudouin Stadium.
Chopra will aim to secure his first major prize after winning the Olympic silver medal in Paris last month. He participated in two Diamond League meets this year and managed to secure a place in the final after finishing fourth in the standings with 14 points.
Chopra’s season-best throw of 89.49m came at the Lausanne Diamond League recently despite having troubles with his groin lately. He finished second in Laussane behind Anderson Peters who threw past the 90m mark.

Chopra up against the best again
However, the two-time Olympic medallist will face tough competition in Brussels, including Paris 2024 bronze medallist Anderson Peters (Grenada) and Germany’s Julian Weber, among others.
Anderson Peters finished with 29 points, while Julian Weber secured the second spot with 21 points.
Pakistani Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem did not qualify for the final, as he only participated in one of the 14 Diamond League meets.
Neeraj’s best ever throw of 89.94m also came in the Diamond League back in 2022. It will be interesting to see how Neeraj approaches the final and whether he can breach the elusive 90m mark on the night or not.
