'I believe I can do it some more': Neeraj Chopra confident of 90m-plus throws after Paris win

Neeraj Chopra (Photo by) Neeraj Chopra has ticked another box in his illustrious career. He added to his distinguished list of achievements by securing his first Diamond League title win in Paris with an opening throw of 88.16m at Stade Sébastien Charléty on Friday night. Despite a strong challenge from his German rival Julian Weber, who posted an 87.88m throw in his first attempt and ultimately finished second, Neeraj managed to come out on top. This was the first time in the season that Neeraj defeated Weber, who had won the Doha and Poland DL titles. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The Paris win is Neeraj's first DL title in two years, his last coming in Lausanne in June 2023 where he recorded a throw of 87.66m. Since then, Neeraj had finished second in six DL appearances. Competing once again in Paris after eight years — his last outing in 2017 ended in an eighth-place finish with a best throw of 84.67m — Neeraj scored a convincing victory. Following his triumph, Neeraj said, 'It was a very good start. I felt really good at the start. But I had too much speed today. The runway was perfect, but I couldn't control my speed. I need to do some more work on it. I am happy with the throw also. I am hoping for some more good throws in future DL meets.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Зачем на ночь сжигают лавровый лист?

In future, I am thinking of making this event big.' He added: 'I have already broken the 90m barrier in Doha. So now I believe I can do it some more.

"Unreal consistency...": Indian cricketers hail Neeraj Chopra for Paris Diamond League win

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 21 (ANI): Former Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan and pacer Ishant Sharma hailed India's world champion and Olympic gold medalist javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra for his victory at the Paris Diamond League on Friday. Chopra once again proved his dominance on the global stage, winning the Paris Diamond League title on Friday night (local time) with a commanding first-round throw of 88.16 metres. Despite three no-marks in the middle rounds, his opening effort was enough to keep him on top throughout the competition. Taking to X, Dhawan wrote, 'What a champion. What a moment. So proud of you, @Neeraj_chopra1 for clinching the Paris Diamond League title with a huge 88.16m throw in the very first round!' Ishant Sharma also wrote, 'Congratulations to @Neeraj_chopra1 on winning the Paris Diamond League with a massive 88.16m throw. Thank you for making the country proud!' Marvelling at Neeraj's consistency, former Indian wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik also called him one of India's greatest athletes. 'He has to be one of, if not the greatest INDIAN athlete What UNREAL consistency,' posted Karthik on X. Chopra set the tone early, launching the spear 88.16m on his first attempt, immediately taking the lead. Germany's Julian Weber came close with a best of 87.88m but fell short. Brazil's Mauricio Luiz da Silva secured third place with a throw of 86.62m. In the opening round, Chopra led the field, followed by Weber's 87.88m and Trinidad and Tobago's Keshorn Walcott with 80.94m. In the second round, Weber briefly merged an 86.20m throw, while Neeraj recorded 85.10m and Walcott slightly improved to 81.66m. However, Chopra's opening throw remained unmatched. The third round saw Da Silva make his mark with a throw of 86.62m. Weber tried to mount a late challenge with throws of 83.13m in the fourth and 84.50m in the fifth round, but he could not cross the 88m mark. In the final round, Neeraj returned to the sector with a solid 82.89m, while Weber finished with 81.08m and Da Silva with 78.56m. Despite the inconsistency in the middle of the competition, Chopra's single legal throw in the first round proved decisive and enough to seal the win. The two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj will be in action for the inaugural edition of the Neeraj Chopra Classic, which will take place on July 5. The NC Classic was originally slated to be held on May 24 but was later postponed to July 5 due to the cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan. (ANI)

Neeraj Chopra's Brave Declaration On Breaking Coach Jan Zelezny's World Record: "Maybe Once I Hit 95m..."

After securing the first spot in the Paris Diamond League, India's world champion and Olympic gold medalist javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra spoke on breaking the records of his coach Jan Zelezny, saying that he needs to keep working and will only talk about it after touching 95 m. Chopra once again proved his dominance on the global stage, winning the Paris Diamond League title on Friday night (local time) with a commanding first-round throw of 88.16 metres. Despite three no-marks in the middle rounds, his opening effort was enough to keep him on top throughout the competition. With Zelenzy in his corner, who holds the world record in men's javelin throw with 98.48 m effort in 1996, Neeraj touched the 90 m for the first time in his career as he came second at the Doha Diamond League last month. Speaking after his win at the he said, "I was hoping for over 90m today, but my run-up was very fast and I could not control my speed. Still, I am very happy with the position as I won a Diamond League again after a long time." Neeraj said that working with Zelenzy made a much bigger impact than technical improvements in his training, and they are "working on some techniques". "If I am training under Jan, I have to throw over 90m - he has done it more than 52 times," he added. Neeraj, who managed six throws in a 89 m range under his former coach Klaus Bartonietz, also spoke on whether breaking the world record was on his radar. "First, I have to break some of his (lesser) records. The stadium record (in Paris of 91.40m set in 1993) belonged to my coach. I told him I felt good today, but it is really hard to beat him," Chopra said. "He has thrown 98m, and so many over 90. Maybe once I hit 95m, then I can start to say something - but right now, I need to keep working," he added. Neeraj's next event will be on June 24, the Ostrava Golden Spike athletics meet in Czechia. It will be followed by the Neeraj Chopra Classic at home in early July. Neeraj is also steadily building up for the World Athletics Championships this year in Tokyo, where he is set to defend the gold he won back in 2023 at Budapest. "The main target this year is the World Championships in Tokyo. I did really well there during the Olympics, and it is a stadium that feels special to me," he said. The World Championships will be held from September 13 to 21. "I would not say I'm aiming for gold - I just want to give my best without putting pressure on myself. At every new competition, I do not think too much about what I have done before - I just focus on the present day," Neeraj concluded.
