India’s star javelin thrower, Neeraj Chopra, is all set to compete in the men’s javelin throw final at the Diamond League season finale in Brussels, Belgium, on Saturday. The Olympic champion qualified for the finale after securing a fourth-place finish in the standings. He has been in impressive form throughout the season, claiming second-place finishes in Lausanne and Doha.
Neeraj’s season best throw of 89.49m, achieved in Lausanne, puts him in contention for a top spot. However, he will face tough competition from Anderson Peters, the Paris Olympics bronze medalist, who holds the season’s best throw of 90.61m, set at the Lausanne Diamond League.
Neeraj is aiming to break the elusive 90m mark in Brussels. While Peters remains the frontrunner, other athletes to watch include Julian Weber and Jakub Vadlejch, whose season best throws are just short of the 89m mark.
This Diamond League final promises to be an exciting clash of javelin throwers, with the world’s best athletes vying for the top spot. Neeraj’s performance in Brussels will be closely watched as he seeks to add another stellar chapter to his already impressive career.
