Neeraj Chopra, Diamond League Live: Shortly after his Paris Olympics silver medal, Indian superstar Neeraj Chopra returns to action at the Lausanne Diamond League 2024 in Switzerland on Thursday.Facing an injury concern and a stacked field, sans Paris gold medall Arshad Nadeem, Neeraj will face a stern test to retain the title he bagged last year at the Athletissima meet. Neeraj, who has only participated in one Diamond League meet so far this season, has postponed his treatment for a groin niggle after the Paris Games since it didn’t feel exacerbated after the Olympics.
Despite a solitary Diamond League meet appearance this season, Neeraj is ranked fourth on the men’s javelin standings behind Jakub Vadlejch, Nadeem and Julian Weber.
The top six will proceed to the Diamond League 2024 final, slated to be held in Brussels next month. Paris Olympics bronze medall Anderson Peters will also compete alongside Vadlejch and Weber to give Neeraj a tough challenge in Lausanne.
