Neeraj Chopra Eyes Bigger Throws Ahead Despite ‘bitter-sweet’ Doha Finish
Doha Diamond League: India’s javelin ace Neeraj Chopra reached a new milestone in his illustrious career by breaching the 90-metre mark for the first time, recording a personal best of 90.23m at the Doha Diamond League. Despite the remarkable achievement, the Olympic champion had to settle for second place, with Germany’s Julian Weber clinching the top spot with a throw of 91.06 meters in his first Diamond League meet of the season.
Speaking after the event, Chopra called the experience “a little bit of a bittersweet” result and was disappointed that he finished second.
“It is a little bit bittersweet result. I am very happy for the 90m, but this second place - it actually happened to me also when I competed in Turku and Stockholm. I threw 89.94, and I was always second. And also here. I broke the national record and got second today. But I am very happy also for Julian Weber. He threw 91, so we both broke 90m for the first time today. We have been trying this for so many years, so finally, we managed to get it,” he said.
