Neeraj Chopra stands the chance to set the record straight against Julian Weber at the Paris Diamond League 2025 to be held at the Stade Sébastien Charléty in France late at night on Friday, June 20.

Neeraj’s rematch versus Weber will be the biggest point of attraction for the fans after their exciting duel at two major events earlier this year.

During the Doha Diamond League in May, Chopra broke a personal barrier, overcoming the 90m mark for the first time in his career with a valiant throw recorded at 90.23m.

But Neeraj still finished runners-up after Weber, too, broke the 90m barrier, but with a throw of 91.06m that won him the Doha title.

Weber again rained on Chopra’s parade at the Janusz Kusocinski Memorial in Chorzow by making a throw of 86.12m above his Indian rival’s 84.14.

Neeraj will be eyeing his first major title of the year by converting the recent runners-up finishes into a memorable championship triumph before the top rung of javelin throwers convene in Bengaluru on July 5 for the inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic.

Neeraj will be the only Indian competing at the Paris Diamond League, which also marks his return to the event for the first time since 2017.

As is often the case in this era in javelin, the competition will be stiff. Apart from Weber, Neeraj will be challenged for supremacy by Olympic bronze medalist Anderson Peters of Grenada, along with Keshorn Walcott, Julius Yego, Luiz Mauricio da Silva and Andrian Mardare.

Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem won’t be present at the event. Remi Rougetet will be the local representative.

When And Where will Neeraj Chopra’s event at the Paris Diamond League 2025 be held?

The Paris Diamond League 2025 will be held at the Stade Sébastien Charléty in France late at night on Friday, June 20. The Neeraj Chopra javelin event kicks off at 1:12 AM IST (subject to change).
