Neeraj Chopra Diamond League Final: In the Diamond League, India will have hope from world champion and Paris Olympics silver medalist javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, who is in action late tonight. Neeraj’s target is to throw a javelin throw above 90, which he has not been able to do till date. Neeraj is competing in the Allianz Memorial Van Damme in Brussels (Belgium).
Neeraj Chopra’s best throw is 89.94 meters, which he recorded at the Stockholm Diamond League in Sweden on 30 June 2022. This javelin throw is also recorded as a men’s national record in India and Neeraj Chopra’s personal best. Neeraj has never been able to throw more than this, so the challenge for Neeraj will be whether he will be able to cross the 90 meter barrier or not.
After Paris Olympics 2024, India’s star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra made the best throw of the season at 89.49m in Lausanne Diamond League 2024 and finished second. Neeraj won the silver medal on 8 August at the Paris Olympics by throwing the javelin at a distance of 89.45 meters.
What does the Diamond League winner get?
The final champion player of the Diamond League season is given the ‘Diamond Trophy’, prize money of 30,000 US dollars and a wild card for the World Athletics Championship. It is worth noting that no medal is given in the Diamond League. That means to win the trophy and the prize money, one has to come on top.
