A good show in Lausanne can ensure Chopra a berth in the Diamond League Finals in Zurich on September 7 and 8 as he is at fourth spot in the standings. The top six in the standings will make the Zurich Finals. The Lausanne event is the last leg which has a men's javelin throw competition. The 24-year-Chopra had pulled out of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games last month due to the injury he had suffered during the final of the World Championships on July 24 in Eugene, USA, where he had won a historic silver. He pulled out of the Birmingham CWG (July 28-August 8) just two days before the start of the multi-sport event as he was advised a four-week rest by his medical team. He then underwent rehabilitation in Germany. "Feeling strong and ready for Friday. Thanks for the support, everyone. See you in Lausanne!" Chopra tweeted.

'HE NEARLY GOT THEM ALL'Athletics Federation of India (AFI) chief Adille Sumariwalla's words for Sable put his achievement in perspective. "At the CWG, it had always been three Kenyans (on the men's 3000m Steeplechase podium). Yesterday, Sable nearly got all of them." But, the fact that he ended the Kenyan stranglehold in the men's 3000m Steeplechase at the Commonwealth Games is not the complete story. The way he did it to become the first non-Kenyan to win a medal of any colour in the event in 28 years is where the main script lies.
