Tokyo Olympic Champion Neeraj Chopra is expected to return this month at the Lausanne Diamond League on August 26, after missing the Commonwealth Games due to injury. The event will be the last event for men’s javelin throwers to qualify for the Diamond League Final in Zurich. The World Championships silver medalist was in impressive form in Oregon, throwing a splendid 88.13m throw, where he also sustained the injury in his last attempt.
Jakub Vadlejch of the Czech Republic currently leads the Diamond League points table with 20 points with world No. 4 Julian Weber in second position. Chopra stays at fourth despite his injury battles. India’s rising star Avinash Sable is also listed to compete in the men’s 3000m steeplechase at Lausanne Diamond League, after his historic silver in Birmingham.
The event will be telecast live on the official YouTube channel. In the United Kingdom, you can watch the event on BBC iPlayer, while United States viewers can tune into NBC Sports to watch the same. Canal+ will broadcast the event across certain countries in Europe.
The Lausanne Diamond League starts on Friday (August 25) with the men’s pole vault city event. The event will take place at 18:00 local time (UTC+2).
