Lausanne, August 26
Olympics champion Neeraj Chopra today scripted yet another historic feat as he became the first Indian to clinch gold at a Diamond League meet. The 24-year-old won the javelin throw title in the Lausanne leg with a best attempt of 89.04 metres.
Chopra, who had pulled out of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games due to a “minor” groin injury, achieved his career’s third-best throw with his first attempt today.
