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.

Neeraj Chopra scripts another history, wins Lausanne Diamond League title

The 24-year-old Chopra, who had pulled out of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games due to a "minor" groin injury he had suffered while winning a silver during the World Championships last month, hurled the spear to 89.08m in his first attempt to seal the win in style. Chopra rested and rehabilitated for a month but it looked like the injury had not happened at all as he continued his vintage form. The 89.08m throw was his third career-best effort. His second throw measured 85.18m before passing on his third attempt.
