Neeraj Chopra in the last live update of Diamond League: Indian Jewelin star Neeraj Chopra, talking to the media ahead of the Diamond League final in Zurich on Thursday, admitted that he was not satisfied with his technology despite receiving a 90m-plus throw in the Doha Diamond League in May. The two -time Olympic medalist is aiming to recover the Diamond League Trophy, working on improving his technology under veteran coach Jan Zelezney.

Chopra threw 90.23 meters while finishing second in his season-opening Diamond League meeting for Javelin on 16 May, finally he was violating the iconic 90 meter mark for more than five years.

The 27-year-old athlete expressed his ongoing journey to correct his technology, especially focusing on using his run-up speed more effectively.

“I think I am really fast in the run-up, but I don’t think I am using the speed right now, 90 meters throw was really good, but technically I don’t want to say that it was right. If my left leg is straight and if I use the right block, it will really throw it well and then I will be satisfied with my speed,” said Chopra said.

On Thursday, when asked about potentially throwing 92 meters with better technology, Chopra replied, “You don’t know in the spear, you probably also go to four or five meters.”

A competitive competition is awaited as Chopra has defended Anderson Peters, the champion of Granada and Germany Vabber in the seven-man finals. The region includes Kenya’s 2015 world champion Julius Yigo, Trinidad and Keshorn Walcott in Tobago, Andrean Mardare of Moldova and Simon Welland of Switzerland.

Neeraj Chopra will look at the Diamond League Trophy with repeat of the 90 meter show, which has been the main attraction of his season as the series is closed in Zurich on Thursday.

Four Diamond League meetings were held, including men’s javelin throwing, and Chopra competed in only two, qualifying for the final in fourth place with 15 points.

He left Silesia and Brussels’ feet on 16 August and 22 August respectively. He last won the DL Trophy in 2022. Out of four meetings, the top six in the points table qualify for the final here.

Since there are 32 events, both men and women, DL finals are spread over two days.

Six events – men and women’s pole vaults, men and women’s shot puts, long jump of men, and women’s high jump – are being held on Wednesday, all road programs in the secretionplatz of Swiss City. However, the remaining 26 incidents will be held inside the Latjigrand Stadium on Thursday.

The Tokyo Olympic gold medalist and Paris game is on an exciting competition card in men’s spear with Silver winner Chopra, which is facing a seven-man final from Julian Weber of Germany, along with Anderson Peters, Defending Champion of Granada.

Kenya’s 2015 world champion Julius Yigo, Trinidad and Tobago’s Keshorn Walcott, and Andrean Mardare of Moldova entered the area as athletes in the top -6 in the table of points, while the Simon Velland of Switzerland was also added as a host country.
