Returning Neeraj wins in Paavo Nurmi Games

New Indian Express  

CHENNAI: With about six weeks remaining for the Paris Olympics, Neeraj Chopra seems to be getting into his best strides. The Olympic and world champion managed to throw 85.97m to lead the javelin competition at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, Finland on Tuesday. After opening the season with a second finish in the Doha Diamond League where he touched 88.36m mark, he had a modest outing in India a few days later in May. Local boy Toni Keranen threw the spear to a distance of 84.19m to finish second while his teammate Oliver Helandar was third with a throw of 83.96. Other top throwers like former world champion Anderson Peters and young sensation Max Dehning of Germany too failed to impress.
