Neeraj Chopra finally breached the elusive 90m frontier with a 90.23m throw but the trailblazing Indian had to settle for a second place behind Germany's Julian Weber.

Neeraj Chopra became the first Indian to cross the 90m mark in men's javelin with a 90.23m throw at the 2025 Doha Diamond League. This milestone ends years of pressure and sets a new benchmark despite a narrow defeat to Julian Weber.

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.
