Neeraj Chopra Diamond League Highlights: Neeraj Chopra ensured it was yet another night to remember for those who stayed awake late to watch India's javelin sensation in action. Neeraj finished second in the Lausanne Diamond League, recording a season best attempt of 89.49m in his final throw. This was 0.4m more longer than what he had achieved at the Paris Olympics, where he won a silver medal. Neeraj got things underway with a sluggish show before finally hitting momentum in his fifth attempt. The 26-year-old is nursing a groin injury so there was not much to complain about and even if there were any it erased with Neeraj's final attempt. Looking at Neeraj's throw, he started with 82.10m, and followed it with 83.21m, 83.13m, and 82.34m. Neeraj then gained some distance in his second last attempt, which was recorded at 85.58m. He then hit his season best in his final attempt, which took his qualification points to 14. He had started the event at the fourth position and jumped one spot in the qualification standings after yet another strong performance.
