Indian javelin throw athlete Neeraj Chopra topped the Paris leg of the Diamond League 2025 on Saturday to edge out Germany’s Julian Weber in the French Capital City.

Chopra’s throw of 88.16m helped him pip Weber, who came in second with a best effort of 87.88m. Mauricio Luiz da Silva finished third with his attempt of 86.62m.

The double Olympic medallist, Chopra, opened the day with an effort of 88.16m and followed it up with a throw of 85.10m, before logging three consecutive fouls. However, the 27-year-old’s opening attempt was good enough to help him stay atop the table.

Julian Weber of Germany, who had pipped Chopra to the top spot in the two events leading up to the day, couldn’t surpass Chopra’s throw on the day, with his best attempt of 87.88m also coming on his first throw of the day.

Mauricio Luiz da Silva, who registered his best throw of 86.62m in his third effort of the day, finished third. Keshorn Walcott’s top effort of 81.66m in his second throw placed him fourth.
