 "Diamond League: Neeraj Chopra's javelin throw event live time, streaming | Other Sports News")
Sports 18 HD/SD will live telecast Neeraj Chopra’s javelin throw event during Diamond League 2024.
After claiming a silver medal at the Paris Olympics 2024, Neeraj Chopra is set to compete in the Lausanne Diamond League during the men’s javelin throw event on Thursday, August 22.
The double Olympic medallist will aim for the top spot in today’s competition, especially in the absence of Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, who secured the gold medal at the Paris Olympics two weeks ago. However, five of the top javelin throwers will still be in action.
Who are Neeraj Chopra’s competitors at the Lausanne Diamond League 2024 today?
Neeraj Chopra started his 2024 season with a throw of 88.36 metres at the Doha Diamond League in May, finishing second. At that event, Jakub Vadlejch of the Czech Republic claimed the top spot with a throw of 88.38 metres. Vadlejch, who won a silver medal at Tokyo 2020, narrowly missed out on a bronze at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Julian Weber of Germany is also expected to be a strong contender. Weber has a season-best throw of 88.37 metres and finished sixth in Paris with a throw of 87.40 metres. He topped the leaderboard at the Paris Diamond League last month, a few weeks before the Olympics, with a throw of 85.91 metres.
What is Neeraj Chopra aiming for at the Lausanne Diamond League 2024?
Neeraj Chopra, who is 26 years old, is currently ranked fourth in the Diamond League 2024 standings. To qualify for the Diamond League Final in Brussels next month, he must finish among the top six in Lausanne.
When is the next Diamond League competition?
Following the Lausanne event, the next Diamond League meeting is scheduled for September 5 in Zurich, which will also feature a men’s javelin throw event.
When is the 2024 Diamond League final?
The season-ending Diamond League Final will be held in Brussels on September 13-14.
How is Neeraj Chopra preparing for the Diamond League 2024?
After a busy few days following the Olympic final on August 8, Chopra resumed training in Switzerland. He is determined to finish the season on a high note, despite being hindered by an injury.
Neeraj Chopra’s fitness concern
“The final treatment will be after the season ends. There’s only one month left, so I’ll try to manage it as best as I can and consult the doctors later. Initially, I was considering only the Zurich Diamond League and the final, but thankfully, the injury is manageable. It usually worsens after competitions, but this time Ishan [physio Marwaha] treated me in Paris. I would like to thank him—he has been with me since 2017 and has helped me through injuries and surgeries,” Chopra said.
