Neeraj Chopra had his arms up in celebration before his first throw at the Lausanne Diamond League meet even landed -- a sight all too familiar.
As it turns out, the attempt -- a monster 89.08m throw -- was good enough to help him finish on top and continue a rather brilliant year.
None of the competitors came close to matching his throw, with Czech Republic's Jakub Vadlejch finishing second with a best attempt of 85.88m and USA's Curtis Thompson completing the podium.
This was also the first time an Indian clinched the top spot in a Diamond League meet. The Lausanne Diamond League meet marked Chopra's return after the injury that he picked up at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
