Lausanne Diamond League: Neeraj Chopra Finishes 1st With Monster 89.08m Throw

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.
