Neeraj Chopra Diamond League 2025 Live Updates: Indian Ace Eyes Top Spot In Paris

Neeraj Chopra Paris Diamond League 2025 Live Updates:

Star Indian javelin throw athlete Neeraj Chopra will be seen in action at the Paris leg of the Diamond League on Saturday at Stade Sebastien Chartley, with the high-octane action slated to get underway around 1:10 AM IST.

Chopra, who started the campaign with a win at the Potch Invitational in South Africa (84.52m) , will look to top the podium on the back to successive second-place finishes at Doha (90.23m) and Janusz Kusocinski memorial (84.14m), where he was edged out by German Julian Weber.

Chopra, the double Olympic medallist, breached the elusive 90m mark in Doha for the first time in his career, but it wasn’t enough to help his clinch the top spot as Weber (91.06m) bettered the India with his own maiden 90m+ effort. Weber went on to perform better than Chopra at the event in Poland to push the Indian to the second rung in the table yet again.

The Indian star will look to emerge top at the French Capital City leg of the Diamond League in a strong field that features Anderson Peters, Julius Yego, Keshorn Walcott, Luiz Mauricio da Silva, Andrian Mardare, Remi Rougetet and  in addition to Weber, Chopra.
