“Not only for me, but at least for the Indians, the burden was reduced.” That was the words Neera Chopry when he was finally able to break 90 meters in Doha Diamond League in May this year. It was a dragon that Neeraj pursued for some time after the start of his journey in 2018. He approached several times, but he was never able to overcome the border. But finally, at the Suheim bin Hamad stadium, Neeraj managed to hit 90.23 ma a monkey out of his back.
However, this was not enough to win the day when German Julian Weber managed to release a 91.06 ms hour of his last throw in Doho and demand the highest step of the stage. Now, on a stacked card, which contains some big names, a 27 -year -old man will look again, taking into account the first title.
This will be the first time in eight years when Neeraj will compete at the Diamond League event in Paris. Last year he skipped the event to focus on the Olympic Games in Paris, where he ended up a silver medal. The last time he attended, he was a junior world champion and finished fifth with the best throw 84.67 m. Since then, the legend Neera has grown and added Olympic gold and silver to her name.
Neerai in 2025
Neera started his year by winning the Potch Invitational Meet in Potchefstroom in South Africa in April with a modest 84.52 m. In memory of Janusz Kusocinski in Poland, the German Neera again introduced last month until 86.12 m.
Neeraj managed to hit 84.14 m for a wet and complicated evening.
Changes in the coaching he made after the last season, miracles worked for Neera, because Jan Zelezna, the world record holder in Javelin, gave him a new view of things. The goal is now to get the first title in the bag, especially with the classic Neer Chopra in India just a few weeks away.
Folded field in Paris
But the Indian star will cut his job. The Indian ace will again be against Weber, who will create an impressive assembly that will contain, like Andersen Peters, Julius Yego and Keshorn Walcott. In fact, from eight participants has five personal best over 90 meters.
Peters reached the brand in 2022 and among eight participants has the best personal throw (93.07 m). Diamond League from Doha and Janusz Kusocinski in Poland also took part and finished third.
The Paris Diamond League organizers were satisfied with the cast of the Star at the event and expected that Neera would be the main attraction of the evening.
“Few meetings boast the fields of five spears over 90 meters. Above all, the Tokyo Olympic champion and Paris silver medalist Neera Chopra from India, who is as powerful as consistent,” said Paris DL in a promotional edition.
Four days after the Diamond League in Paris, Neeraj will compete at the Athletics of Golden Spike Athletics Meeting in Ostrava in the Czech Republic 24 June. After the opening classic Neer Chopra, which the Indian star hopes to enter the title already in the bag.
