Fresh from his second-place finish in the Paris Olympic Games 2024, India's star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra failed to bag the top-podium spot yet again, salvaging the second spot in the Lausanne Diamond League on Thursday.
Neeraj didn't look at his best the entire contest, yet managed to throw his season best of 89.49m in his last attempt, but that was only good enough for a silver-medal finish.
Though Neeraj remained just inches away from breaching the 90-metre mark, his reaction to the final effort said everything about what he was feeling.
Chopra, who won India a silver medal at the recently-concluded Paris Olympics, was at fourth spot till the fourth round before sending his spear to 85.58m in his fifth attempt.
