Two-time Olympic medalist Neeraj Chopra finally breached the 90m mark with a stunning 90.23m attempt in the Doha Diamond League men’s javelin throw event on Friday. Neeraj, who has won the Olympic gold as well as silver medal, never breached the 90m mark before this event. The celebrated Indian athlete’s previous best was 89.94m at the Stockholm Diamond League 2022. Neeraj scripted history by becoming the first Indian athlete to achieve the feat as he came up with a 90.23m throw on his third attempt.

However, it was not enough as Germany’s Julian Weber claimed the top spot with a 91.06m throw.
