Watch Neeraj Chopra's monstrous throw at Lausanne Diamond League | Video

Indian's star athlete Neeraj Chopra recorded his season-best throw at the ongoing Lausanne Diamond League in Switzerland on Friday, where he managed a distance of 89.49 metres.

Anderson Peters of Grenada set a new meet record with a monster throw of 90.61m to take the first place while Julian Weber of Germany settled for third with 87.08m, as per Olympics.com.

Neeraj, now a two-time Olympic medallist, began the evening on a modest note and failed to breach the 85m mark on any of his first four attempts. Staying fourth on the leaderboard for most of the event, he climbed to third place with an 85.58m throw on his penultimate attempt to earn an extra throw.

Competing against Peters and Weber in the final round, Neeraj secured the second-best throw of his career. The 89.94m throw achieved at the Stockholm Diamond League in 2022 continues to be Neeraj's personal best and is also the national record in India.
