Diamond League Javelin Throw Final: Neeraj Chopra Finishes 2nd At Diamond League Finals With Best Throw Of 83.80m

Neeraj Chopra Live Javelin Throw Highlights: Neeraj Chopra finished second at the prestigious Diamond League finals on Saturday. The Indian's best throw of 83.80m came in his second attempt but it was not enough to surpass Czech Republic's Jakub Vadlejch's throw of 84.24m. Finland's Oliver Helander came third with a best throw of 83.74m. While Neeraj has thrown much greater distance in recent past, one reason for the Indian superstar's poor throw could be that the Asian Games are nearby and he would want to peak during the continental extravaganza.
