Neeraj Chopra faces tough competition in Lausanne
Neeraj Chopra's journey this season has been challenging, especially after a groin injury threatened to derail his campaign.
While recovering in Germany, there were doubts about whether he would compete in Lausanne. However, on August 17, Neeraj confirmed that he was ready to take on the challenge in Lausanne.
The injury has limited Neeraj's appearances this season, with his only Diamond League outing being in Doha back in May. As a result, he's currently in fourth place in the standings and needs a top-six finish to secure his spot in the prestigious Diamond League Final in Brussels next month.
He kicked off the year with a strong performance in Doha, finishing second with an 88.36m throw, narrowly missing out on the top spot to Jakub Vadlejch of Czechia.
The competition promises to be fierce, featuring top-tier athletes from around the globe, including Paris 2024 bronze medalist Anderson Peters. In Lausanne, Neeraj will have formidable competitors like Julian Weber, who won the recent Paris Diamond League, and Jakub Vadlejch. However, Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem will be absent from this star-studded lineup.
