Neeraj Chopra win Diamond League Crown
Neeraj Chopra made history on Friday when he won the Lausanne leg of the Diamond League Meeting, becoming the first Indian to do so.
The 24-year-old Chopra, who had to withdraw from the Birmingham Commonwealth Games because of a "minor" groyne injury sustained when earning silver at the World Championships last month, threw the spear 89.08 metres in his first try to secure the victory.
After a month of rest and rehabilitation, Chopra returned to his previous level of performance, making it seem as though the injury never ever occurred. His third-best effort in his career was the 89.08 m throw. His second throw, which measured 85.18 metres, was unsuccessful, as was his third.
His forth throw was a foul while he again passed his fifth attempt before coming up with 80.04m in the sixth and last round. Only the top three after the fifth round get the sixth throw.
“I am especially happy because I am recovering from an injury, and tonight was a positive sign that I have done so," Chopra stated following the performance.
