Indian ace Neeraj Chopra was in action at the men's javelin event at the 2025 Janusz Kusocinski Memorial in Chorzów, Poland, on Friday.
This was the second major event of the year for Neeraj after the Doha Diamond League last week, where he ended his long wait for a 90m throw to finish in second position behind Julian Weber of Germany.
Neeraj was eyeing a redemption against Weber in a highly anticipated rematch here in Poland, but he once again fell short to the experienced German thrower and finished in second position.
