Riding on the success of two back-to-back podium finishes, Tokyo Olympics gold medallist javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra will once again be in action at the Stockholm Diamond League 2022.
The 24-year-old returned to the action earlier this month with a national record-breaking throw of 89.30 metres at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, Finland, where he won the silver medal. He then went on to clinch the gold medal at the Kuortane meet in Finland with the best attempt of 86.39 metres.
Neeraj will be looking to find another podium finish in his maiden Diamond League appearance. But here, he will again face stiff competition against the Tokyo Olympic silver and bronze medallists Jakub Vadlejch and Vitezslav Vesely, respectively. The event will also feature stalwarts like Germany's Julian Weber and Finland's Oliver Helander. The event will also see Grenada's Anderson Peters who has registered the best throw in men's javelin this season.
Here's what Neeraj's competition will look like in the Diamond League:
