Can Neeraj Chopra stave off Julian Weber challenge at World Championships?

Neeraj Chopra and Julian Weber entered the 90-metre club at the same competition, the Doha Diamond League in May.

Last year’s Paris Olympics marked the first time a European male didn’t win a medal in the javelin throw at the Summer Games. An Asian 1-2, with Pakan’s Arshad Nadeem winning gold, India’s Neeraj Chopra silver and the third place going to Grenada’s Anderson Peters. European representation started at fourth-place, Czech Republic’s Jakub Vadlejch, followed Germany’s Julian Weber sixth. Finland’s fall as a javelin powerhouse showed too — a trio from the Nordic country taking the last three top 10 spots.
A year on from the Olympics, the responsibility of a European medal winner will fall on the broad shoulders of Germany’s Julian Weber at the World Championships in Tokyo. The 31-year-old is having the year of his life, entering the 90-metre club and winning the Diamond League Final in Zurich. He’s thrown the spear further than anybody else this year, his 91.51 metres better than Luiz Mauricio da Silva’s 91 metres and Chopra’s 90.23m.
