Lausanne Diamond League 2024 LIVE UPDATES: Neeraj Chopra's Javelin Throw Event Starts At 11:30 PM

Indian javelin thrower, Neeraj Chopra, is back in action at the 2024 Diamond League in Lausanne, Switzerland tonight from 11:30 PM IST onwards. Neeraj, who recently secured a second consecutive podium finish at the Olympics by winning a silver medal in Paris, will hope to cross 90-metre-mark. Neeraj won his first Diamond League event in 2022 when he recorded his career-best throw of 89.94 metres.

Neeraj is currently in the fourth spot in the 2024 Diamond League with seven points and will be aiming to improve his position in the points table by finishing ahead of the table toppers on Friday. Jakub Vadlejch of Czechia, Anderson Peters of Grenada, and Julian Weber of Germany are currently leading the table with 14, 13, and 8 points, respectively.

Neeraj will have a slight advantage as the 2024 Paris Olympics gold medalist Arshad Nadeem will not be in Lausanne to challenge him. However, the challenge will not be easy as his groin injury, which he has been suffering from for some time now, could still play spoilsport for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics gold medalist on Friday.
