It was a landmark day for Indian athletics, with Chopra’s 90m breakthrough stealing the spotlight and the rest of the Indian contingent making notable strides in their respective events.

Neeraj Chopra finally breached the elusive 90m mark with a 90.23m throw but finished second behind Julian Weber of Germany in a dramatic men's javelin contest at the Doha leg of the prestigious Diamond League Meeting series here on Friday.

Neeraj Chopra begins his 2025 season at the Doha Diamond League on Friday evening at the Suhaim bin Hamad Stadium in the Qatari capital. This will be Neeraj's first event under the stewardship of new coach Jan Zelezny.
