Neeraj Chopra seeks first major title of season, up against Julian Weber in Paris Diamond League
Neeraj Chopra. (PIC - X) Having breached the 90m mark, two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra would now be eyeing a top finish when he goes up against familiar rivals in the prestigious Paris Diamond League on Friday in a star-studded field here. Chopra, German ace Julian Weber and two-time world champion Anderson Peters of Grenada will be among eight competitors vying for top honours in the second DL meeting of the season, featuring men's javelin throw on the roster. Five of the listed throwers have hit the 90m mark. Weber had upstaged Chopra in the Doha DL on May 16 after the Indian superstar finally breached the elusive 90m mark. Weber had recorded 91.06m with his last throw to trump Chopra who had sent his spear to a distance of 90.23m in the same event. The 31-year-old Weber had also beaten Chopra at the Janusz Kusocinski Memorial meet on May 23 in Poland where both performed below their best under chilly and overcast conditions. Weber had produced 86.12m while Chopra could only come up 84.14m to finish second. Peters was there in the field too at both the Doha DL and the Poland event. He had finished third in both. In Paris, Chopra would look to upstage Weber after finishing second in back-to-back competitions as he returns to the French capital after eight years for a Diamond League competition. Chopra had skipped the Paris DL last year in order to focus on the Olympic Games where he took the silver with a throw of 89.45m. He last competed in the Paris DL in 2017 as a junior world champion and finished fifth with a throw of 84.67m. In the eight-man field at the Charlety Stadium on Friday, five have crossed the 90m mark. Chopra and Weber were the latest entrants to the exclusive club. Peters has already done it in 2022. Kenya's 2015 world champion Julius Yego and Trinidad and Tobago's 2012 Olympics gold-winner Keshorn Walcott are the other two in the 90m club. Both achieved the feat back in 2015 and since then their performances have declined. 'Few meetings can boast a field of five javelin throwers over 90m. Foremost among them is Tokyo Olympic champion and Paris silver medallist Neeraj Chopra of India, who is as powerful as he is consistent,' the Paris DL organisers stated in a promotional release for the event. The other three in the eight-man field are Luiz Mauricio Da Silva of Brazil, who has a season's as well as personal best of 86.34m, Andrian Mardare of Moldova (PB: 86.66m) and Remi Rougetet of France. Chopra began the 2025 season with a title in an invitational meet at Potchefstroom, South Africa, which was a minor — category F — event with a throw of 84.52m. Four days after the Paris DL, Chopra will compete at the Golden Spike athletics meet in Ostrava, Czech Republic on June 24. After that, the reigning world champion will feature in the inaugural edition of the Neeraj Chopra Classic on July 5 in Bengaluru, a World Athletics category A event which he is hosting. Peters, Yego and Da Silva will also be there in the NC Classic.

Neeraj Chopra eyes victory at Paris Diamond League after consecutive runner-up finishes
Neeraj Chopra. New Delhi: Indian Javelin thrower, Neeraj Chopra, will compete in the Paris Diamond League on June 20th, aiming for his first major victory of the season. This will be his return to the competition after an eight-year absence, and follows two consecutive second-place finishes. Chopra, 27, sat out last year's Paris Diamond League to concentrate on the Olympic Games. His previous appearance in Paris was in 2017, where he placed fifth with an 84.67m throw. While the complete roster of Paris Games javelin throwers remains unreleased, organizers have confirmed that Neeraj Chopra and Grenada's Anderson Peters, a two-time world champion, are among the five competitors who have already achieved throws exceeding 90 meters. 'Javelin throwers Neeraj Chopra, a double Olympic medalist, and Anderson Peters, a double world champion, are among the five entrants who have already crossed the 90m line in a competition that promises to be a crazy one,' the organisers said. In both the Doha Diamond League (May 16th) and the Janusz Kusocinski Memorial meet in Poland (May 23rd), Peters placed third, behind Chopra. Early in the 2025 season, Chopra won a minor competition in Potchefstroom, South Africa, throwing 84.52 meters. Later, at the Doha Diamond League on May 16th, he exceeded 90 meters for the first time, achieving a throw of 90.23 meters, although Julian Weber of Germany secured first place with a throw of 91.06 meters. One week after a previous second-place finish to Weber, the two-time Olympic medalist again placed second at the Janusz Kusocinski Memorial in Poland. His best throw of 84.14 meters was considered subpar for his usual performance, although the competition was affected by cold and cloudy weather. Following a previous competition, Chopra aims to improve his performance at his next DL event in Paris on June 20, the same location where he won a silver Olympic medal in August of the previous year. Following his Paris Diamond League competition, Neeraj Chopra will participate in the Golden Spike athletics meet in Ostrava, Czech Republic on June 24. Following his world championship victory, Indian athlete Neeraj Chopra will participate in the inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic, a World Athletics category A event he is hosting in Bengaluru on July 5.
