Neeraj Chopra to resume Diamond League defence in Doha
The HinduJavelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, the reigning Olympic and Diamond League champion, will launch his title defence in the Doha meeting of the Diamond League Series on May 5. “My goal for this summer is the World Championships, alongside the Asian Games and the defence of my Wanda Diamond League title. Worlds silver medallist Chopra, who improved his personal best by almost two metres with a throw of 89.94m at last year’s BAUHAUS-Galan in Stockholm, was crowned the Diamond League champion in 2022. The upcoming event will present athletics fans with a javelin spectacle with Peters, the winner at 93.07m at the last meeting in Doha, going head to head against Chopra, who is aspiring to achieve his first 90m throw in the new season, and Vadlejch, the European Championships runner-up and bronze medallist at the Eugene World Athletics Championships.
