Neeraj Chopra Clinches Diamond League Victory in Lausanne after Injury Lay-Off

 Indian Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra made an impressive comeback at the Lausanne leg of the Diamond League after recovering from a one-month injury lay-off. Despite missing three important events due to a muscle strain, Chopra secured the top spot with a fifth-round throw of 87.66m, claiming his second consecutive win of the season in the prestigious one-day meeting series. This victory reaffirmed his status as an elite javelin thrower and showcased his resilience and skill.

In the men’s long jump, Indian athlete Murali Sreeshankar finished fifth with a jump of 7.88 meters, falling short of his personal best. While Sreeshankar had previously achieved an impressive 8.41 meters jump during the National Inter-State Championships, his performance in Lausanne did not meet expectations. However, it’s worth noting that he recently secured a podium finish by ranking third in the Paris leg of the Diamond League.
