Gold medallist Olympian Neeraj Chopra broke his own record and gave another mind-blowing performance with 89.94m throw, on the 30th of June, at the Diamond League tournament.
With his performance, Olympian Neeraj Chopra bagged a silver medal at the event, held in Stockholm.
While Neeraj Chopra secured Silver, Peters clinched the gold medal while Julian Weber of Germany bagged the bronze after throwing 89.08m. Although Chopra didn’t secure gold medal, he broke his June 14, record (89.30m).
Chopra’s throw was the tournament’s record too, until reigning world champion Anderson Peters breached the 90m mark as he threw 90.31m on his third try to set a new meet record.
Ultimately, Chopra failed to improve his first attempt and settled for a silver medal. His other throws were estimated 84.37m, 87.46m, 84.77m, 86.67 and 86.84m. Peters clinched the gold medal while Julian Weber of Germany bagged the bronze after throwing 89.08m in his fifth attempt.
The next target for the Tokyo Olympics champion will be the World Championships in Eugene in the USA, starting from the 15th of July to the 24th of July.
