Neeraj Chopra at Diamond League Final 2025: Preview

Rainy with light winds, humidity and the temperature around 18 degrees Celsius — the conditions are set to be tough on Thursday night when India’s Neeraj Chopra and six other javelin stars compete in the Diamond League Final at the Letzigrund stadium in Zurich. Chopra returns to a venue where he made history three years ago, becoming the first Indian to win a Diamond League Final. In the two subsequent finals, he finished runner-up with only a centimetre separating him from the winner, Grenada’s Anderson Peters, at last year’s finale in Brussels.

Peters, a two-time world champion, cannot be written off in the big events even though on current form Neeraj will watch out for the clear and present danger from a German, Julian Weber, who gave him a run for his money this season.

Since the Paris Olympics, the name of a human hulk from across the border gets often mentioned as a real threat to Chopra’s World Championship ambitions, the most-anticipated track and field competition this year. Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, however, has not competed since winning the gold medal at the Asian Athletics Championships in South Korea’s Gumi in May. Since the Olympics final, Neeraj and Nadeem have not featured in the same competition. Nadeem has focused on post calf-surgery rehabilitation. Those seeing the men’s javelin only through the India-versus-Pakistan lens should start paying attention to Germany’s Julian Weber.
