Neeraj Chopra is one of the brightest stars of India. He is the great champion of the javelin throw. Recently, he once again showed his flair in the Lausanne Diamond League 2024. Let’s know about this brilliant performance in detail and understand how Neeraj has become the pride of India.
Neeraj’s magical throw
In the Diamond League competition held in Lausanne, Neeraj Chopra did wonders in his last attempt. He threw his javelin 89.49 meters away. This was his longest throw this year. Earlier, he had thrown the javelin 89.45 meters away in the Paris Olympics 2024. That is, he also surpassed his Olympic performance. Neeraj showed his best performance at the last chance. He was lagging behind in the first five rounds. But in the sixth and last attempt, he made such a throw that everyone was stunned. With this performance, he went straight from fourth place to second place.
Great performance despite injury
Neeraj Chopra was struggling with injury for some time. He had a hernia problem, which is a kind of muscle problem. This problem was troubling him even before the Paris Olympics. In such a situation, many players withdraw from the competition. But Neeraj did not give up. Neeraj’s performance was not that good in the initial rounds. His first throw was 82.10 meters. After this, he threw 83.21 meters, 83.13 meters, and 82.34 meters. In the fifth round, he improved and threw 85.58 meters. But the real wonder happened in the last round when Neeraj made his last throw; everyone’s eyes were on him. The spear slipped from his hand, flew in the air, and fell 89.49 meters away. This throw surprised everyone. Neeraj’s face lit up with a smile because he knew he had done something special.
Result of the competition
Despite this brilliant performance, Neeraj Chopra could not reach the first position. Anderson Peters of Grenada won first place with a throw of 90.61 meters. Neeraj finished second, and Julian Weber of Germany finished third with a throw of 87.08 meters. This result shows how tough the global competition is in the javelin throw. Neeraj did his best but still missed the first place. This shows the uncertainty and thrill of the sport.
Way forward
Neeraj Chopra has announced that he will now stay away from the game for some time. He has to get his injury treated. It is possible that he may also have to undergo surgery. This decision is important for his long career.
