Is Neeraj Chopra Participating In Zurich Diamond League 2024? Neeraj Chopra has gradually become of India’s biggest sporting icons. The poster boy of javelin throw in India has won every major medal on offer in the sport already including a historic Olympic gold in Tokyo and a silver medal in Paris. However, he is still not satsified as he believes that there are better throws left in him.
As India backs its champion athlete to achieve more laurels for the nations, will he be playing in the Zurich Diamond League 2024 is a question that could well be on the minds of the Indian sports fans. Well, here’s what we know so far. The double Olympic medallist had said that he would be finishing his season with either one or maximum of two competitions in 2024.
His comments had come after Neeraj came back from behind to finish second in the Lausanne Diamond League, a fortnight after securint the Olympic silver medal in Paris. Neeraj bettered his Paris throw in the Swiss city with a season-best distance of 89.49 metres, falling tantalisingly close to the 90-mark yet again in his career. While Neeraj has been struggling with a groin injury that was on his mind in Paris as well, it seems to have gotten better.
