Neeraj Chopra is set to return to action in the Lausanne Diamond League 2024 on Thursday, August 22. The star Indian athlete will participate in the men's javelin throw event for the first time since his podium finish in the Paris Olympics 2024 on August 9.
The 26-year-old Neeraj produced his season-best throw of 89.45m in the Paris Games but he finished second behind Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem who recorded a spectacular throw of 92.97m. The top six players who finished at the Paris Olympics have qualified for the Lausanne Diamond League 2024 but Arshad Nadeem withdrew his name.
Apart from Neeraj, the world no.1 Jakub Vadlejch and Paris Games bronze medalist Anderson Peters are top contenders in Lausanne. Neeraj expressed his desire to reach 90m this season after settling for the silver in Paris and will be under the limelight at Stade Olympique de la Pontaise on Thursday evening.
